Me in ten seconds
I am an entrepreneur, adventurer, food lover, amateur musician, investor, and armchair philosopher. I grew up in the Netherlands, currently live in Singapore and have also lived in Bangladesh, Myanmar and on Bali. Really love learning new things and jamming on everything I think I know with others. For decades I thought I was not creative, but I know better now.
What I'm doing now
I look after Customer Experience at Carousell, the acquirer of my previous startup Ox Street. On the side I write on Substack and here, and build new startups ideas. In 2024 I learned to code with AI, and now I'm building things by myself. See my "now" page for more detail.

My Personal Website
Mostly built without AI assistance, this is a site where I try to maintain a home base for everything I do.
Quotes that I like
I read a lot, both online and in books. Oftentimes I come across something that inspires me in some way. I keep a collection of quotes that I browse through from time to time.
Here is one random quote from my collection.
Writing
I started writing almost daily in 2018. Most of it is for myself, and I don't publish it. The stuff I do publish, is spread across LinkedIn, Substack and this website. My blog on this website is an attempt to integrate across platforms.
Here is my latest Substack post:
