Fractional CTO | Scaling AI & Engineering Teams
I’m an AI-native fractional CTO and strategic technology leader specializing in scaling AI-driven engineering teams for high-growth startups and scaleups. With 15+ years of hands-on experience in AI, Machine Learning, and software engineering, I’ve built and led engineering organizations across industries like healthcare, aviation, e-commerce, publishing, and education.
As a founder and CTO of startups backed by Y Combinator, Google Gradient and Dig Ventures, I raised significant venture funding, including a $1.7M seed round, built scalable products featured in Techcrunch, and rapidly scaled engineering teams from single to double digits developers. My strength lies in bridging the gap between technical vision and strategic business goals, ensuring technology not only supports but accelerates growth.
I have a proven track record in scaling teams and leading both early-stage startups and enterprise-level projects. Over the years, I have contributed to multiple startups that later achieved successful acquisitions, with companies collectively raising over $50M in funding. My leadership has helped organizations navigate complex technical challenges, streamline AI/ML deployment, and build robust engineering cultures that drive innovation and growth.

Testimonials
I've had the pleasure of working together with Coen on a roller coaster startup venture in both Amsterdam and Silicon Valley. During this time, he has routinely impressed me with the ease with which he picks up new technologies, architected two production systems in two different frameworks, and overall by his sheer work capacity. In addition, as our CTO he has shown great technical leadership over our small team of developers, and in general I consider him one of the best technical minds that I know. I recommend him wholeheartedly. - Peter Tegelaar, Newcope
