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 AI governance layer that keeps them defensible — an unusual pairing that means policy gets translated into actual agent-level controls, audit trails, and confidence thresholds rather than sitting in a PDF. Founder of HC Core Tech and the sole architect of CoreDesk, a multi-tenant AI workspace platform live in production with an embedded multi-jurisdiction governance engine (EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, PDPA, UK GDPR).
Recently delivered AI Developer Lead, AI Governance Lead, Project Manager, and Product Manager for Mediaverse Pte Ltd's nine-agent AVC content production system (engagement concluded 15 June 2026), where I architected the system end-to-end, owned the product roadmap and build sequencing, established the EU AI Act compliance program ahead of the August 2026 NL/RDI deadline, and managed a distributed three-person engineering team. Specialises in turning ambiguous, regulated, high-stakes AI workloads into systems that are explainable, auditable, and shippable — from first architecture diagram to live production with paying users.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
AI Engineer & AI Governance Lead — HC Core Tech2025 – Present
Founder & sole operator · hccoretech.com · hccoredesk.com
• Designed, built, and shipped CoreDesk — a production multi-tenant AI workspace platform serving SMEs and independent professionals across NL/EU. Live at hccoredesk.com on Hetzner Cloud with EU data residency, JWT auth with role-based middleware, and full audit logging.
• Built four production AI agents in CoreDesk (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.
• Shipped CoreDesk 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 isolation at the database, not just the application layer.
• Full-stack build owned end-to-end: Next.js 16 + TypeScript frontend, FastAPI + 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).
• Onboarded founding customer (NL-based healthcare practice) under sensitive-context governance defaults — health-sector classification, human-in-the-loop send constraints on email agent, and pre-populated healthcare-specific privacy notice / AI use policy.
• Operate four service lines under HC Core Tech: AI Engineering (custom agents, RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems, integrations); AI Governance & Compliance (intake reports, framework mapping, enterprise audits, monthly compliance monitoring); Web Development (responsive 5–10 page sites, landing pages, brand & site builds, monthly maintenance); Advisory (AI strategy, technical review, governance consultation, combined AI + governance sessions).
• Applied Responsible AI by default across every engagement: explainability, safe-failure design, source attribution, human-in-the-loop validation, and lifecycle governance (plan → document → build → test → improve).
Flagship engagement
AI Developer Lead · AI Governance Lead · Project Manager · Product ManagerApril 2026 – June 2026
Mediaverse Pte Ltd (Singapore, remote) · contracted via HC Core Tech · AVC (Audio Video Curation) multi-agent content production system · engagement concluded 15 June 2026.
• Led architecture and governance of a nine-agent AI content production system serving enterprise and government clients (incl. Microsoft-led Let's Talk Tech podcast).
• Built Knowledge System v2 and v3 (31 MD files) on Azure VM; introduced GAG (Graph-Augmented Generation) alongside RAG for context-precise outputs; designed two-layer access model — read-only API for agents, write-restricted Librarian agent — for auditability and IP defensibility.
• Acting AI Governance Lead for EU AI Act compliance ahead of the August 2026 NL / RDI deadline. Stood up the AI Register covering every tool in the AVC stack (risk classification, data processing scope, vendor exposure, compliance status) and defined audit-trail requirements at agent-action level.
• Authored full Scriptwriter Agent specification (decision logic, HiTL output schema, multi-speaker detection, platform rules, uncertainty handling, context builder integration) and delegated build to engineering team — pipeline reached ~75% completion at handover, with browser-based FastAPI HiTL UI replacing Excel-based review.
• Designed Human-in-the-Loop review layer: per-segment approve / reject / override / feedback, with confidence below 0.7 auto-flagged for review and override patterns surfaced as brief-update suggestions.
• Managed a distributed three-person engineering team across Netherlands and Eastern Europe; ran weekly task briefs, daily logs, and a 33-task tracker; maintained a 37+ entry decisions log; onboarded an ex-Apple distributed systems architect as technical advisor.
• Owned the AVC product roadmap and agent build sequencing (Account Manager → Producer → Scriptwriter → Project Manager, with downstream Motion Systems / Assembly & Render / Art Director / Governance & Audit agents scoped into later phases); ran comparative reference-system evaluations (AgenticOS, ICOR, G-Stack / G-Brain, Jake Van Clief MD-files approach), made the core architecture and tooling decisions (FastAPI, Azure VM, SSH tunnel, tmux / systemd), and translated stakeholder direction into agent specifications, feature scope, and acceptance criteria validated against real client content.
• Stack: Claude Code, Cursor, n8n, Azure VM, GitHub, OpenAI API, Ollama, Python, FastAPI, ChromaDB / FAISS, RAG / GAG.
Founding deployment
End-to-end AI Engineering, AI Governance & Web Build — JS Zorg en Advies (Seraph Zorg)2025 – Present
NL-based trauma-focused healthcare practice · founding CoreDesk customer · live in production
• Delivered a complete digital and AI stack to an NL-based healthcare practice serving vulnerable clients (incl. minors): production website, multilingual AI workspace on CoreDesk, EU AI Act governance documentation, and ongoing support — under one engagement.
• Shipped seraphzorg.com — production WordPress build (Astra + Elementor) with faith-grounded Dutch copy, mustard-gold brand system (#CFA53D), six branded photo sections, inactivity-popup lead-capture flow, and contact form with phone field. Brand voice deliberately personal (mij/ik), never corporate.
• Onboarded as the founding CoreDesk customer — workspace running on the Basis plan in production, with the full client dashboard (Email, Invoices, Quotes, Clients, Content, AI Assistant) live, Microsoft 365 mailboxes connected via OAuth (jiska.doekes@, info@, facturen@), and Dutch as the primary UI language.
• Configured workspace as a health-sector deployment with sensitive-context governance defaults: human-in-the-loop send constraints on the email agent (agent drafts, human always sends), healthcare-specific privacy notice and AI use policy pre-populated, and per-agent EU AI Act / GDPR mapping with extra-care language for vulnerable clients and minors.
• Shipped multiple feedback cycles in production based on real practitioner use: RAG index refresh on document upload, Dutch tone calibration on email-agent drafts, and per-mailbox category routing. Subscription self-service (plan view, payment history, upgrade/cancel) and footer-based feedback inbox both live.
