About Dominic
Full-stack engineer based in Amsterdam. I build SaaS and AI products end-to-end: frontend, backend, infra, integrations, payments. Currently CTO and sole engineer at DocuChat, an EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant RAG chatbot platform for SMB and enterprise customers in 80+ languages. On the side I run Studio Random, where I have shipped six products including Earnesto (escrow SaaS on Stripe Connect), Drips (on-chain raffle platform on Sui with four custom Move smart contracts), Turni (PWA for airport shift management, 147 employees), and YouGee (two-sided marketplace for restaurants and food creators). I work with Claude Code and agentic workflows day-to-day. Half Italian, half Dutch, trilingual.
