I’m an Innovation Engineer at Cloudhouse Labs, where I work on early product ideas, prototypes and technical experiments before they become formal engineering projects. My role sits close to product: exploring what might be useful, building enough to prove or disprove an idea, and helping turn future product direction into something people can actually see, test and discuss.
I’ve spent nearly thirty years working in and around Windows, infrastructure, virtualization, application delivery and end-user computing. Earlier in my career I worked on infrastructure migration projects, including moves from Windows NT-era environments to Active Directory, Exchange and Citrix-based platforms. I have always used development and automation to make consultancy and administration work more reliable, repeatable and less boring — what many people would now simply call DevOps.
Over time, application delivery became my main focus. A lot of that work involved making difficult or badly behaved applications run properly on VDI and SBC platforms without weakening security or turning the environment into a collection of exceptions. That naturally led me deeper into Windows internals, debugging, reverse engineering and application compatibility.
I was a Citrix CTP from 2013 until the programme ended in 2025, have been a Parallels VIPP since 2017, and co-founded the Dutch Citrix User Group.
These days my work and interests also include security research, reverse engineering, automation, AI-assisted development, Home Assistant, homelab setups and building small tools to solve specific problems.
This blog is where I write about the things I work on and the technical rabbit holes I end up in. Some posts are polished walkthroughs. Others are closer to lab notes: things I tried, broke, reversed, automated or eventually understood well enough to write down.
Expect posts about Windows internals, application delivery, debugging, security tooling, reverse engineering, packaging difficult applications, AI workflows, automation, Home Assistant, lab setups and the occasional obscure problem future-me would otherwise forget.
I write mostly for people who enjoy practical technical detail: engineers, sysadmins, packagers, security folks, homelabbers and anyone who likes understanding how things work under the hood.
Nothing here is meant to be perfect or final. It is a technical blog, not a product manual. But when I find something useful, strange or hard-won, I try to write it down.
