I'm a software engineer based in San Francisco, originally from the Netherlands. I started building iOS apps in 2011, and over time I found myself increasingly drawn to the systems behind the product work: the architecture, workflows, tools, and engineering habits that determine whether software stays easy to change as it grows.
That path has taken me from product engineering into mobile infrastructure, architecture, developer experience, testing strategy, release engineering, observability, code quality, and large-scale migrations. I tend to gravitate toward work that makes complicated systems more understandable and easier for teams to maintain over time.

Experience
Speak (current)
At Speak, I focus on the systems that make a fast-moving mobile product easier to build, ship, and operate reliably as the team and codebase grow. This continues the platform and architecture work I did at Lyft, but closer to the product and earlier in the company's growth curve: architecture, CI, release automation, observability, and authentication infrastructure.
Lyft (2014 – 2025)
At Lyft, I started in product engineering and moved into platform and architecture work as the mobile organization grew. That shift took me from building rider and driver features to defining the systems, standards, and technical direction that let the broader organization scale without losing quality.
I joined as the first dedicated iOS engineer and later became tech lead for a 150-engineer Mobile organization. Much of that work centered on making a fast-growing codebase easier for many teams to change safely: founding the iOS Architecture team, scaling modularization across an 80+ engineer iOS team, improving testing strategy, and leading long-running migrations across the mobile codebase. This also included providing mentorship and leadership to peers, which was some of the most rewarding and satisfying work I've done.
Community
I've also really enjoyed teaching others along the way through mentorships at work, speaking engagements, and tutorial writing and editing.
