Over deze freelancer

Most businesses approach AI backwards: they pick a tool and hope a use case shows up. I do the opposite — I start with a real business decision or bottleneck (a process that's outgrown a spreadsheet, a task eating half your team's day, systems that don't talk to each other) and design the AI system around that, with a clear owner and a measurable outcome.

Before AI, I spent 15+ years fixing operational systems under real pressure — airline ground operations, then building the infrastructure behind an e-learning platform that grew from a handful of students to thousands. Same question every time: where does this actually break, and what needs to be true for it to hold?

Recent work: a custom AI system that flags contract risk under Kazakh commercial law for an industrial company's legal and operations team. And a closed-corpus AI assistant for a training company, built and validated end-to-end so it only answers from their own approved course material — no guessing, no generic AI answers.

How I work: I diagnose where your process is actually breaking, design the system — architecture, prompts, data flow, edge cases — and stay accountable through to a working result, not just a document handed off for someone else to build.

Based in the Netherlands, working with SMB owners and founders across the Netherlands and Europe. If a process in your business runs on manual copy-paste, spreadsheets that don't talk to each other, or an AI pilot that stalled — send a message and let's look at where it's actually breaking.

Senior Operations Manager — Airline Ground Services
British Midland Airways (bmi), Qatar Airways, JSC Red Wings

11 years in senior operational management across international airlines — Airport Manager at bmi, Airport Services Manager at Qatar Airways (managed a $2.5m budget and an 8-person team in a zero-tolerance environment, where a five-minute delay meant 200 missed connections by dinner; redesigned baggage handling and cut complaints from 0.85 to 0.17 per 1,000 passengers), then Deputy Director of Ground Handling at JSC Red Wings, running operations, budgets and safety compliance across a network of 17+ regional airports with a team of 30. Same core skill I bring to AI systems today: find exactly where the operation breaks, and redesign it to hold under real volume.
