I build agentic systems and the products that wrap them.
CS @ TU Delft. Co-founder @ Tetherlab, an MCP coordination layer for AI coding agents. Spent 2026 at VeraConnect shipping agentic systems; ran Daredate on my own time for two years before handing it off.

They coordinate before they write, instead of colliding after.
Section 02 · In One Breath
“Studying CS at TU Delft. Co-founding Tetherlab. Looking for interesting work.”
I'm drawn to the seam between agentic AI and real product work: the layer that decides whether these systems are safe to put in front of users, and what it looks like when the agents outnumber the humans. Tetherlab is my current attempt at that layer.
