Career Path
Self Employed · AI & Software
Software Projects · Auto Trading · AI/ML · Consulting
Running own software ventures and AI/ML projects — from data collection and model training to deploying local LLMs, agent workflows, and production automations. Built algorithmic trading systems, media software, and custom toolchains. Operating across Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Ukraine — including work in Dnipro Petrovsk during active wartime. Comfortable in any environment, any language, any time zone.
CEO & Founder
1 → 2 Companies · 13 Years · NL & ES
Founded and led companies for 13 years. Started with one in 2008, expanded to two companies across two countries by 2015, then consolidated back to one by 2017. At peak: 5 direct employees, 30+ freelancers, offices in the Netherlands and Spain. Managed a wide portfolio of media and software projects end-to-end. Every previous trade — logistics, precision, client work, sales, production — was put to use daily and compounded into real executive capability.
Finance & Sales
DVB · Sales
Entered the finance sector to understand what drives buying decisions. Honed negotiation, persuasion, and relationship-based selling — skills that later proved indispensable when running a company.
Media & Journalism
Research · Production · High-level Interviews
Worked with journalists, interviewed high-ranking political candidates, and collaborated with artists in professional music studios. Built a rigorous research methodology and learned how complex media production pipelines operate from end to end.
Apprenticeship & Trades
Automotive · Culinary · Carpentry · Installation
Four trades that built the foundation. Structured problem-solving (mechanic), resourcefulness (cook), precision — "ein Mü ist ein Mü" (carpenter), and client relationship management (installer). Every one of these fundamentals is still in use today.
