I build ML systems, do live coding improv shows, and audio visual artistic projects.
I've been at Booking.com for nine years and have led teams since 2018. Some of that work was production ML. Outside work I train models on one GPU. My live sets run on a Kinect, a plant and a robot arm.

Research and work
I take a model from a demo to something that runs every day. Then I test whether it does what it says.

I connect hands, bodies and sensors to Ableton Live, and make the rig last a whole set.

Plant bio-signals, Kinect depth and audio. Raw sensor data jitters and drifts. I clean it up until it's safe to play live.

Making music with code in Sonic Pi, from one note to your own track. You don't need to have coded before.

Research
Three threads. None of it is paid, and most of it runs on one RTX 3090 in Amsterdam.
AI safety and governance
A book on AI that improves itself, from 1925 to 2026. Every system that worked was checked by something it couldn't edit. Also: proving what data a model was trained on.

LOGOS
A mixture-of-towers model, designed to scale to 10T+ parameters. Today it's continued pretraining on one RTX 3090. It's stuck until I find compute or funding.
Work in progress · Looking for compute
Creative research
Instruments for live sets, played by plants, bodies and a robot arm. Echo Garden is my project for the ADE Lab Hackathon, 21 to 23 October 2026.

Building production systems that scale and high performing teams that grow while doing it.
I joined as a software engineer in 2017 and led my first team in 2018. I’ve been an engineering manager since 2021. In Accommodations I went from one team to several, so I learned to lead through other leads. In Flights my team shipped Fly Anywhere about 6 months after kickoff. Now I run a front-end platform team. We own delivery metrics for more than 2,000 developers.
