I build software for factories, and a company that runs on agents.
Industrial automation engineer by trade, aerospace engineer by training. DjimDesign is where I put AI agents to work on real products, and I review every line before it ships.
A human still presses merge.
Two kinds of work, equal space.
Industrial automation & software engineering
Since 2023 I’ve been lead developer at Tata Steel in IJmuiden, building one platform for the Secondary Steelmaking process to replace five separate legacy packages. Before that I connected KLM’s Engine Shop machines to the cloud at BlueLabs, built computer vision and a digital twin of Schiphol at KLM’s Digital Studio, and replaced a legacy AS400 landscape at Remia. Underneath it all is an MSc in Aerospace Engineering (Control & Simulation) from TU Delft.

2023–One platform instead of five legacy packages.Lead developer on a C# .NET and Angular application that brings five machine paths, each run by its own legacy software, together in one place. It talks to the plant over OPC UA and ships through offline pipelines into an air-gapped environment.
KLM: BlueLabs
2021–23Engine Shop machines, online.I connected the Engine Shop’s industrial machines to Azure IoT Hub through an edge device over OPC UA, so they can be monitored centrally and in real time. I also helped replace paper on the shop floor with e-ink displays that know where they are.
Remia
2020–21A food plant’s legacy IT, modernised.I replaced an AS400 landscape with an Angular and NestJS platform and set up CI/CD from scratch. I also built an OPC UA client that reads PLC and sensor data from the production lines.
DjimDesign, an AI-first studio
DjimDesign started in 2002 as my web design company. Since 2024 it’s been an AI-first studio: one human CEO and a team of AI agents, each with its own discipline. They plan, design, build and test. I set direction and review everything, and nothing reaches production without a person approving it. We build our own tools for this, like bench and the office, and real products for real clients.

ToolThe workbench our agents work at.Each task gets one agent, one throwaway container and one draft pull request. A person reviews and merges. Bench is also used to build bench.

ClientOrdering, till and kitchen in one system.Online ordering with pickup timeslots and iDEAL, a tablet till that pushes payments to the PIN terminal, and a kitchen display. Live since July 2026.
Familiar Forest
ClientA festival, run on one platform.We built the whole site: tickets, a raffle, resale, crew shifts, a door scanner and live sound monitoring against the noise permit.
One human. Seven agents.
Jarvis coordinates. Pixel designs. Neo builds. Rex breaks things on purpose. Vox writes. Flux runs the infrastructure. Nook does real estate research. I decide what we build and approve what ships.
