Bridging Business Software and AI
The most valuable AI work isn't about the models. It's the systems on either side of them: the business data an agent can reach, and an engineering process that holds up when the agent writes the code.
With 18+ years in software engineering, I now lead the development team at Warmtebouw with an AI-first approach, both in what we build and how we build it. From MCP servers and ML pipelines to full-stack applications powered by AI-assisted development, I focus on what turns AI from a demo into a production system.

The Missing Layer
Introducing Introspective Context Engineering for MCP: a method for building Rich Domain MCP Servers where the AI doesn't just query your data, it understands what it means. Based on multiple MCP servers running on real production business data.

We Replaced Jira With Markdown Files
One team, ten repositories, four tech stacks, and a Jira licence nobody enjoyed. We moved every ticket into markdown files next to the code. Seven months later, 15 projects and 12 people are on a board that costs nothing per seat.
2026-08-10 · 10 min readThe Ticket Is the Context Window
Once tickets were markdown in the repo, the format turned out to be the easy part. The real deliverable was the process, written down in a form the agent executes: one skill, two write paths, and a loop you can tell not to stop.
2026-08-09 · 9 min readThe Cheapest Time to Be Wrong
Every ticket passes three automatic review layers before a human reads a line of it: a second model on the plan, a multi-lens self-review before the PR, and an agent-driven bot review after. The earliest one is the one that matters.
