Mastered Tech Stack My engineering philosophy centers on the .NET ecosystem, cloud-native scalability with Azure/AKS, and cutting-edge AI integration.
🔭🤖🔎 AI & Search Implementing RAG pipelines and vector search with TypeSense for ultra-fast, intelligent content discovery.
☁️ Cloud Platforms Architecting scalable Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments for enterprise reliability.
🛒 E-Commerce High-volume transactional systems supporting multi-million euro revenue streams.
I'm a Chief Technology Officer with 18+ years building enterprise and e-commerce platforms — from SharePoint architecture at scale to AI-powered marketplace systems that process €25–30M in annual revenue.
I joined Movic B.V. in 2014 as a hands-on architect and grew with the company through every phase — three platform rebuilds, a global pandemic (−84% revenue collapse in 2020), and a return to record €30.5M revenue in 2023. Total cumulative profit generated: €25.6M.
I'm not a generalist who delegates. I'm a builder who also leads. I still write the hard parts.
