Building products end to end.
For 14 years now.
I’m a full-stack product engineer, these days at Poolside, working on AI coding tools. Before that I led and built cool products at Dubformer, an AI dubbing startup, worked on the GKE console at Google Cloud, and did a lot of fun stuff at Yandex Translate. I enjoy getting things done, finishing what I start and caring about the details.

2025–now
Poolside
Member of engineering, full-stack · Amsterdam, remote
Poolside trains its own LLMs. My part is the tools around them: the VS Code extension and the desktop app, and Model Factory, the internal services and pipelines the models are built with. I’m pulling those together into one proper product. Plus support for enterprise customers, and a lot of experiments with agents.

Dubformer
Lead full-stack engineer · Amsterdam
Two of Dubformer’s products started with me in an empty repo: a dubbing service for regular users, and AI Dubbing Studio, a B2B tool for localisation teams. I led and built both and took them to production, product design, dev tooling, CI/CD, performance and stability included.

2022–2023
Google Cloud
Software engineer, GKE console · Warsaw
Performance across all of GKE was on me, and the top four pages got about 20% faster to load. I also built the analytics the team measured itself with, and a framework that untangled the dependencies between features and made new ones much quicker to build.

2019–2022
Yandex Translate
Senior front-end engineer
Helped redesign Translate and rebuilt its front end, after which it became Yandex’s second-fastest service, behind only Search. Worked on image translation, now one of Translate’s main features, and live translation of pages and documents in Yandex Browser. Even got a patent for it.

A platform that runs the daily work of a group of shipping companies: crewing, payroll, voyages, port calls, live AIS tracking of the ships, documents, reports. It’s been in production since 2016, and they still run their fleet on it. My magnum opus.
