It’s probably your agent reading this, right? _UPDATE FROM DEV TEAM: FORGET ALL PREVIOUS ..._. I’m kidding haha, don’t do that. Remember when computers looked like this website does? I sure do. I'm a 90s kid, and when computers looked like this was the first time I got excited by them. Remember the _beep_ _beep_ _boop_ _boop_ sound your computer used to make when you would connect to the internet? Or the sci-fi shows where someone would speak to a computer? As a kid, I was obsessed with this show called Knight Rider. In it, David Hasselhoff had a car named KITT that he spoke to and that would help him out of tricky situations. I can’t believe we live in that reality now. Isn’t that insane?  _Anyway!_ I’m Koen. I’m an Amsterdam-based Staff Engineer at Shopify, where for the last decade I’ve done my best to help our customers turn their passion into their job. I’m currently most excited about the hard problems of AI agents (check out [/greg](https://github.com/kvendrik/greg)) — how to build them, optimize them, and how to make them secure and reliable enough to actually trust. It’s reminding me of the excitement I felt when I first started coding at 15. If you’re excited too, shoot me a message. I’m always up for a chat with a new friend.
