About Mitchell

Ik bouw AI-gedreven tools voor trading-, bank- en beleggingsproducten — LLM-integraties, document-verwerkingspijplijnen en data-intensieve webapplicaties. Op dit moment werk ik als software engineer bij een Nederlandse broker (ETF's, aandelen, obligaties), waardoor ik de data, compliance en regelgeving achter fintech-producten van binnenuit ken.
Die combinatie is zeldzaam: de meeste AI-engineers begrijpen de wereld van brokers en kapitaalmarkten niet, en de meeste finance-mensen kunnen niet bouwen. Ik zit in beide. Dat betekent dat ik niet alleen een werkend product oplever, maar ook snap waaróm bepaalde keuzes in deze sector wel of niet kunnen.
Ik werk research-first: voordat ik bouw, duik ik in het echte probleem, het domein en de huidige stand van de technologie — zodat de oplossing past bij de werkelijke constraints, niet bij de voor de hand liggende.

    Freelance AI engineer focused on fintech and capital markets. I help trading, banking, and investment companies build AI-powered tools — LLM integrations, document-processing pipelines, and data-intensive web applications. I work research-first: before building, I dig into the actual problem, the domain, and the current state of the technology, so the solution fits the real constraints rather than the obvious ones. That approach comes from genuine capital-markets domain knowledge — I work inside a Dutch broker, so I understand the data, compliance, and regulatory realities fintech products face. I stay current with a fast-moving AI field and bring that directly into client work. Stack: Python, TypeScript, React/Next.js, LLM/AI APIs, PostgreSQL.
