Professional Experience
Over three decades, I've built systems where failure isn't an option—from life-safety healthcare platforms to spacecraft systems, from financial trading infrastructure to defense applications. Each role shaped my approach to reliability, scale, and mission-critical engineering.
These experiences inform how I approach AI automation today: building systems that businesses can depend on, architecting for growth, and maintaining the rigor that mission-critical work demands.
-
Zintouch - Healthcare Alarm Systems
Lead Developer scaling 24/7 life-safety systems through 100% YoY growth, from 5 to 50+ employees. Zero-downtime upgrades for systems where failure could cost lives.
-
DirectorInsight - Financial SaaS
Lead Developer building global financial reporting infrastructure, scaling 24/7 operations from startup to 50 employees with year-over-year user base doubling.
-
ABN AMRO - Trading Systems
Banking sector trading and investment systems with financial penalties for downtime. Where missed orders cost real money and market opportunities vanish in seconds.
-
ESA, TNO & Atos - Aerospace & Defense
Spacecraft and defense systems where failure isn't an option. Once in space, there are no repairs—this background shapes every reliability decision I make.
Why This Background Matters for Your Automation
When you hire someone to automate critical business processes, you need confidence the systems will actually work. My mission-critical background means:
- Reliability by design: Three decades building systems that can't fail translates to automation you can trust
- Scale without breaking: I've supported 100% YoY growth—your automation will grow with your business
- Zero-downtime mindset: Learned from sectors with financial and life-safety penalties for outages
- Enterprise rigor: Security, compliance, and audit trails aren't afterthoughts—they're foundational
