About

Agentic product engineer and interdisciplinary philosopher of science. AI research and consulting via the SciPhi Initiative. Co-organizer, Nederland Philosophy Club.

Education

  • Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences, LMU Munich Dissertation Knowledge Transfer in Cognitive Systems Theory — knowledge as control via structure mapping, using cybernetics to explain neural networks as error-controlled regulators.
  • Masters from the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, LMU Munich

Experience

  • Appy.AI on the core team developing the multi-agent harness for Violet — an AI Chief of Staff that routes specialist agents with scoped context for real workflows. Prompts, context, orchestration, steering, agent standards (skills), evals and testing.
  • Cray deep-learning internship.
  • Building and experimentation with agentic tools and new models Devin, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Bot, Typesafe's Jev, DSPy, RLMs, etc.

Agent = model + harness

Click the print to set a target. With the harness off, the model is a brain in a vat. Plan refines the goal estimate and predicts drift. Tools give live feedback for course correction. Memory keeps unfinished goals when you click somewhere new, and the verifier checks arrival.

Harness:
A Japanese woodblock-style landscape of a pine overlooking a river and mountain.

Shaded trails show actual paths. Dots trace estimates. Symbols sharing a cell take turns.

The dotted ring follows the agent’s current goal estimate. The latest click stays marked after arrival.
