A platform that helps consumers recover what companies owe them, from the notice of default to the payment. A deterministic workflow engine owns the state, the statutory deadlines and the money; AI drafts the letters and answers the company at fixed points in the process, and a human reviews what leaves. Behind it: a consumer app, an admin cockpit with a review queue, and a go-live checklist that is as much legal as technical.
haalverhaal.nlA desktop application that reviews KYC and CDD dossiers automatically: it reads the files, checks them against the rules and drafts the review. Privacy is enforced in code, not by agreement — identity documents are classified by file name only, and personal data is redacted before anything leaves the machine.
A usage meter and task planner for Claude Code: how much of the session and weekly limit is used, how fast it burns, whether the limit will be hit before it resets — and what a task will cost before it starts, learning from what tasks really cost. One Node script and one dashboard page, no dependencies.

nooteboomconsult.nlA podcast explaining Dutch and European case law in plain language. Grew it into an advertising partnership with study-aid provider Lawbooks, then negotiated its sale at 8.2× EBITDA.
SpotifyThe path so far
I study the law where it meets finance. During my bachelor’s in Amsterdam it became clear that I did not want to be a classic litigator: the files that drew me in were about structuring M&A deals, negotiating terms and setting up fund structures. Since then, everything I have taken on — the internships, the treasurer’s seat, a podcast I co-founded and sold — has pointed the same way: towards private equity.
Start of the LL.B. in Law at the University of Amsterdam; later elected to the Faculty Student Council.
Intern at Van Till Advocaten, drafting court documents. Co-founded Rechtspraat, a podcast on Dutch and European case law.
The academic excellence programme. Chair of its moot court society, 3rd place in the National Moot Court Marathon, undefeated in cases — and the realisation that deals interested me more than the courtroom.

Intern at Florent. Completed the LL.B., negotiated the sale of Rechtspraat at 8.2× EBITDA, and started the LL.M. in Law & Finance. Joined the Central Student Council full-time as treasurer, and became chair of my homeowners’ association.
Private Equity Certificate with Wharton Online and Wall Street Prep over the summer, completed with 91 / 100, then an internship at Bencis Capital Partners: legal and compliance, reporting and valuation — and helping the firm develop and integrate AI.

Two theses and a research paper, each as a presentation
Internal asset partitioning in Dutch public company groups: the live 800-pound gorilla
Corporate groups are designed, and their design decides who bears what risk. The thesis derives eight publicly observable methods of internal asset partitioning from the literature, screens all twenty-nine AEX firms against them, and follows the two strongest non-financial cases — Ahold Delhaize and Shell — through five years of annual reports and the Dutch trade register. Both partition by design, in opposite architectures.
Quasi-fiduciaire overdracht — constructions that transfer ownership while working as security
Since 1992, art. 3:84(3) BW has barred the transfer of ownership for security, yet Sogelease left room for constructions that pass ownership while serving as security. The thesis asks which of these quasi-fiduciary transfers exist and how they should be qualified, builds a five-part test, and applies it to factoring, covered bonds and financial collateral arrangements with close-out netting.
A how-to guide on exploiting bilateral investment treaties under ICSID
A deliberately provocative how-to guide: how low is the bar to become a protected “investor” with an “investment”, and could an investor engineer a claim against a state? Access turns out to be easy — incorporation beats control, and timing is everything. Provoking the expropriation is the bottleneck. The answer: a hesitant yes, but…
