I help businesses develop complex hardware and software products. I’ve worked with companies like Heijmans, Solarge, and Sanoma Learning on everything from solar panels to digital education platforms.
I work as a freelancer on projects of 3+ months. Open to employment for exceptional opportunities.
What I do:
- Innovation – Create new product ideas or push your current idea further.
- Validation – You get clear answers on what works, what doesn’t, and what to build next.
- Product Leadership – Leading teams and translating between hardware, software and business
Pick the service you need, or we can combine them for your project.
Innovation
I transform ideas into tangible prototypes that demonstrate your innovation’s potential. Whether software or hardware, I create compelling demonstrations that engage stakeholders and validate concepts through hands-on development and testing.
What I Bring:
- Rapid Prototyping – Creating quick, rough models within hours/days to test and visualize core concepts using 3D printing, laser cutting, and hand fabrication
- Design Development – Evolving successful concepts into refined prototypes ready for user testing, pilot production, and manufacturing handoff
- Technical Integration – Combining electronics, textiles, and materials in innovative ways (specialized in wearables and smart infrastructure)
- Supply Chain Development – Building relationships with suppliers and manufacturers to source the right materials, components, and production capabilities for your project
- Material Research – Sourcing and testing materials to meet product requirements
- Visual Storytelling – Creating artist impressions through renders, animations, and video to help teams align internally and pitch to external stakeholders
- AI-Powered Exploration – Using advanced AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to rapidly prototype ideas, explore opportunities, and accelerate development
My Approach:
I focus on creating prototypes that serve the purpose to reach a specific goal. Working closely with your team and relevant specialists, we identify the most effective ways to demonstrate your innovation’s value. By combining creativity with technical expertise, I help you move efficiently from concept to reality while validating key assumptions along the way.
Validation
Analysis is where vision meets reality. I help teams understand what they truly need by listening to users and validating solutions. Through business analysis, user testing, and technical validation, we create the best conditions for your innovation to succeed in the real world.
What I Bring:
- User Research – Gathering insights through interviews, observations, and usability testing
- Business Analysis – Translating complex requirements into user stories and technical specifications
- Solution Validation – Testing concepts and prototypes with real users
- Technical Assessment – Ensuring feasibility and identifying potential challenges
- Stress testing – setting up tests to ensure the product or chosen material can withstand chosen circumstances e.g. waterproofing
- Documentation – Creating clear, actionable specifications and patent applications (co-inventor of three patents)
My Approach:
I break down complex challenges into manageable pieces, working closely with stakeholders to understand their goals. By combining structured analysis with user feedback, we can validate ideas early and often, reducing risk and improving outcomes.
Product Leadership
I turn complex innovations into reality by leading multi-disciplinary teams and ensuring clear communication across all levels. From software development to infrastructure projects, I drive results through structured planning and hands-on management.
What I Bring:
- Agile Team Leadership – Successfully leading international Scrum teams of 15+ people, known for quick onboarding and maintaining team productivity
- Requirements Analysis – Translating complex customer needs into clear, actionable specifications and user stories
- On-Site Execution – Managing technical projects from concept through implementation, with hands-on coordination of construction teams and specialists
- Stakeholder Alignment – Keeping both technical teams and business stakeholders informed and aligned through clear documentation and regular updates
- Risk Mitigation – Proactively identifying challenges and developing practical solutions across software and infrastructure projects
- Quality Management – Setting up testing protocols and validation processes to ensure deliverable quality
- Innovation Oversight – Coordinating between developers, designers, and manufacturers to bring new concepts to life
- Cross-Cultural Communication – Proven track record working with teams and stakeholders across Europe
My Approach:
I bring structure while maintaining flexibility for innovation. By focusing on clear communication and practical problem-solving, I help teams deliver complex projects successfully while adapting to new insights along the way.
