Omschrijving

Senior fullstack engineer with 25+ years building software, 15+ as a freelance contractor in the Netherlands. Delivered production systems for clients across banking, retail, energy, government and airline — including BMG Bank, Nike EMEA, Alliander, KLM and Ministry of Infrastructure. The common thread: real client deadlines, real production code, environments where decisions have to hold up over time.

Primary stack: Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, React. Strong on frontend design, REST/GraphQL APIs, and integration with legacy systems.

The past year I've focused on how AI-assisted software should be designed, governed, and verified. That means real engagements (an agentic business-plan generation pipeline for Startboard, integrating MCP servers and multi-agent n8n workflows), and an open-source agentic SDLC framework I built and maintain — ADW: I'm now the senior who can both ship production fullstack and reason about agent design, MCP integration, HITL gating, and where AI actually fits in an engineering team's workflow.

Available for new contracts in 2026. Senior fullstack work preferred, AI-leaning roles welcome. Based in the Netherlands, open to on-site, hybrid and remote engagements across NL and EU.
