Engineering Manager · AI Enablement
Engineering Manager with a hands-on engineering background, leading multiple project teams at idealo.
I build the systems, increasingly AI-powered, that help teams do their best work.
My focus is enabling teams, building management systems, and bringing AI into real workflows as a practical way to make people and systems better.
About
A short take on what drives me and how I approach leadership, systems, and AI.
Hi, I'm Philip.
A decade of hands-on software development still shapes how I lead. It's why I care as much about the systems around a team as about the code they ship.
I like making the implicit explicit: turning things I take for granted into systems, automations, and documentation others can rely on. Lately that means bringing AI into everyday workflows in ways that genuinely help, not just as a buzzword.
My interests lie at the intersection of technology, people, and systems.
Log book
A snapshot of what I'm currently exploring and experimenting with.
Bringing AI into how teams actually work, from AI-assisted coding to workflow automation, and building the habits and guardrails that make it stick.
Designing lightweight systems that make team work visible: automated briefings and reporting that surface priorities without manual effort.
Experimenting with LLM-driven agents and automations that remove friction, from daily briefings to home automation as a personal playground.

Payload
A few systems I've built that reflect how I think about AI enablement, automation, and making work visible.
Automation • LLMs
A system that generates automated team briefings and reporting, powered by workflow automation and LLMs. Surfaces daily priorities and status without manual effort: a management system that runs itself.
LangChain • Agents
A personal playground: an LLM-driven agent that orchestrates smart-home devices through natural language, wired up via Telegram. Where I experiment with agent architectures hands-on.
Docs • AI
A single source of truth built and maintained with AI-assisted tooling, turning scattered, implicit knowledge into structured documentation a team can rely on.
