About

Software engineer and founder based in Amsterdam. I build at the intersection of AI, embedded systems, and mobile - from autonomous robots winning medals at RoboCup to production NLP platforms on Kubernetes. At NIKX Technologies, I built Sentor (NLP and sentiment analysis), TERRA (smart agriculture IoT across Dutch farms), Flowmetry (industrial gas leak detection), and Relayly (open-source encrypted WebSocket relay in Go). I care about building things that work in the real world, not just demos. The constraint of reality is what makes engineering interesting. Currently exploring agentic AI systems and how to make them reliable enough to actually trust.

Sentor - Entity-level sentiment analysis, built for AI assistants

Sentor scores sentiment against specific things (a feature, a competitor, shipping), not just one overall positive/negative label per review. Connect 20+ sources like Trustpilot, Amazon, and the App Store in the dashboard, or use our API, JS/Python SDKs, and MCP server to run entity sentiment, clustering, and topic naming in your own product or directly from Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. Free plan, no card required.
