PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
AI Engineer and AI Governance Lead with 7+ years across engineering, security, and Responsible AI. I build production multi-
agent AI systems and the governance layer that keeps them defensible, so policy becomes real agent-level controls, audit
trails, and confidence thresholds instead of a document nobody enforces. Founder of HC Core Tech and sole architect of
CoreDesk, a multi-tenant AI workspace platform live in production with an embedded multi-jurisdiction governance engine
covering the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, PDPA, and UK GDPR. Alongside the AI work, I design and ship production websites
and full-stack web builds, delivering the system and the digital presence around it from a single hand.
Most recently held four combined roles (AI Developer Lead, AI Governance Lead, Project Manager, and Product Manager) on
a confidential enterprise AI engagement (remote, concluded June 2026): architected a multi-agent production system end to
end, owned the product roadmap, and stood up an EU AI Act compliance program ahead of the August 2026 NL/RDI deadline
while leading a distributed engineering team. I turn ambiguous, regulated, high-stakes AI work into systems that are
explainable, auditable, and shippable, from first architecture diagram to live production with paying users.

CORE COMPETENCIES
AI Engineering Multi-agent systems (LangGraph, custom orchestration), RAG and GAG pipelines, LLM grounding and

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Founder, AI Engineer & AI Governance Lead — HC Core Tech
Founder and sole operator · hccoretech.com · hccoredesk.com · 2025 – Present
• Built and shipped CoreDesk from zero to production, a multi-tenant AI workspace platform serving SMEs and
independent professionals internationally. Live on Hetzner Cloud with EU data residency, JWT auth with role-based
middleware, and full audit logging.
• Shipped four production AI agents (Email, Invoice, Content, Assistant) plus a Governance Auditor that scores each agent
out of 100, maps it to five regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, PDPA, UK GDPR), and auto-generates
privacy notices, AI use policies, and obligation reports, making every workspace compliant by default.
• Launched in six languages from day one (NL, EN, FR, RU, ES, PT) on a workspace-scoped multi-tenant architecture, with
Supabase Row Level Security enforcing tenant isolation at the database layer, not just the application layer.
• Delivered the full stack single-handed: Next.js 16 and TypeScript frontend, FastAPI and Python 3.11 backend,
Supabase/PostgreSQL, OpenAI GPT-4o, DALL-E 3, and audio transcription, deployed and operated on Hetzner Cloud
(Ubuntu 24.04, Nginx, PM2, Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal).
• Won and onboarded the founding paying customer, an NL-based healthcare practice, under sensitive-context governance
defaults: health-sector classification, human-in-the-loop send constraints on the email agent, and a pre-populated
healthcare-specific privacy notice and AI use policy.
• Run four service lines under HC Core Tech (AI Engineering, AI Governance & Compliance, Web Development, and
Advisory), taking clients from first scope to shipped product and ongoing governance.
• Ship Responsible AI by default on every engagement: explainability, safe-failure design, source attribution, human-in-the-
loop validation, and lifecycle governance (plan, document, build, test, improve).
AI Developer Lead · AI Governance Lead · Project Manager · Product Manager — Confidential Client
Enterprise AI engagement · remote contract via HC Core Tech · April 2026 – June 2026

• Architected and governed a nine-agent production AI system end to end, from first architecture diagram to a working
production pipeline.
• Designed a governed knowledge layer (two major versions, 31 structured files) and introduced Graph-Augmented
Generation alongside RAG, giving every agent context-precise, IP-defensible outputs through a two-layer access model
(read-only for agents, write-restricted librarian).
• Stood up the EU AI Act compliance program ahead of the August 2026 NL/RDI deadline: built the full AI Register across
the stack (risk classification, data-processing scope, vendor exposure, compliance status) and defined agent-action-level
audit-trail requirements.
• Specified and drove a core production agent to roughly 75% pipeline completion at handover (decision logic, human-in-
the-loop output schema, multi-speaker detection, uncertainty handling), replacing a manual Excel review step with a
browser-based review UI.
• Built human oversight in by design: a human-in-the-loop review layer (per-segment approve, reject, override, feedback)
with sub-0.7-confidence outputs auto-flagged and recurring overrides surfaced as brief-update suggestions.
• Led a distributed three-person engineering team (Netherlands and Eastern Europe) through weekly briefs, daily logs, a
33-task tracker, and a 37+ entry decisions log; onboarded an ex-Apple distributed-systems architect as technical advisor.
• Owned the product roadmap and build sequencing across the multi-agent pipeline; ran comparative reference-system
evaluations and made the core architecture and tooling decisions (FastAPI, Azure VM, SSH tunnel, tmux/systemd).
• Stack: Claude Code, Cursor, n8n, Azure VM, GitHub, OpenAI API, Ollama, Python, FastAPI, ChromaDB/FAISS, RAG/GAG.
End-to-End AI Engineering, AI Governance & Web Build — JS Zorg en Advies | Seraph Zorg
Founding CoreDesk customer · NL-based trauma-focused healthcare practice · live in production · 2025 – Present
• Delivered a complete digital and AI stack under one engagement: production website, multilingual AI workspace on
CoreDesk, EU AI Act governance documentation, and ongoing support, for a practice serving vulnerable clients including
minors.
• Shipped seraphzorg.com, a live production website with Dutch-language copy and an integrated lead-capture flow, in
daily use by the practice.
• Onboarded the practice as the founding CoreDesk customer: full client dashboard (Email, Invoices, Quotes, Clients,
Content, AI Assistant) live in production, Microsoft 365 mailboxes connected via OAuth, and Dutch as the primary UI
language.
• Configured a health-sector deployment with sensitive-context governance defaults: human-in-the-loop send constraints
on the email agent (agent drafts, human sends), a pre-populated healthcare-specific privacy notice and AI use policy, and
per-agent EU AI Act and GDPR mapping with extra-care handling for vulnerable clients and minors.
• Shipped multiple production feedback cycles from real practitioner use: RAG index refresh on document upload, Dutch
tone calibration on email drafts, per-mailbox category routing, subscription self-service, and a feedback inbox, all live.
Data & AI Governance Manager — Voice4AI Governance
Contract engagement · Jan 2025 – Jan 2026
• Advanced Responsible AI programs aligned with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, OECD AI Principles, and ISO/IEC 42001,
contributing AI risk assessments, model transparency documentation, and accountability mapping.
• Closed the gap between policy and implementation, translating governance requirements into concrete technical
constraints and system-level controls with engineering teams.
• Turned evaluation into action: assessed AI systems for bias, explainability (XAI), and failure modes, and drove the findings
into practical Responsible AI improvements across the program.
Systems, Security & Platform Foundations — Various
Pre-2025 · 5+ years
• Kept production and regulated systems reliable: cybersecurity, platform reliability, incident response, and root-cause
analysis; vulnerability analysis aligned with OWASP Top 10, including simulated exploits (SQLi, XSS).
• Built frontend systems (React, TypeScript) with API integrations and responsive UIs, developing durable habits in process
discipline, documentation, and how systems behave under failure, load, and real use.
