Approach
Skills & approach
End-to-end ownership
From discovery and strategy to delivery and team alignment. Not afraid to roll up my sleeves and don't shy away from the tough conversations.
Systems thinking
I spot the structural problems before they become product problems: misaligned incentives, unclear ownership, KPIs that reward the wrong behavior.
Into the details
I engage deeply with design, architecture, legal, and data protection. Whatever it takes to bring the product to life. I make decisions quickly to get teams unstuck.
Clarity in ambiguity
I bring structure to complex environments, connect strategy, and create a path to execution.
Resilience
I stay grounded when everything's on fire. Progress over perfection, momentum over paralysis.

How I AI
Vandaag
Built a Dutch language learning app. Installed as a PWA. Claude via API enables reading, writing, and speaking. Supports multi-user and authentication. 15-day streak and counting, B1 level. Love polishing how to apply gamification to create habits.
This portfolio
Built with Claude Code and shadcn MCP. Started with benchmarking PM portfolios and analyzing landing pages, mapped the design direction, wrote the content, built and deployed. Yes, you're reading it right now.
Quick build: QuietAtlas
Built a small geography practice tool to explore Lovable as a prototyping platform. First working version in one prompt, 2.5 credits, instantly deployed. Spent another 45 credits on polish. The tweaking is where the cost adds up.
