About Dan

I build AI agent systems that take those workflows and run them autonomously. Not a Zapier flow. Not a chatbot. A coordinated system of AI agents that understands your process, makes decisions, handles exceptions, and delivers results. Without a human in the loop.

The difference: most automation breaks when something unexpected happens. AI agents adapt.

My background is unusual: I'm a Materials Engineer with a Master's in Finance and 10+ years in software. I've worked as a full-stack developer, software architect, and team lead at companies like KLM. That breadth means I understand business processes, data, systems design, and engineering execution all at once. I don't need a team of specialists. I can see the whole picture and build the whole thing.

I work with companies in professional services, real estate, logistics, manufacturing, and operations-heavy businesses that know they need to modernize but haven't found the right person to make it happen fast.

If you have a process your team does manually and you suspect it could be automated, let's talk. Even if you're not sure it's possible, I'll tell you honestly whether it is.
