I'm JP, a South African creative technologist living in Amsterdam. By day I'm Tech Lead of Sustainability at Interfood, turning dairy customers' climate targets into work on actual farms. Around that I build interactive worlds and games, make data legible, and ship AI agents that quietly take care of the repetitive, so people keep the parts that need a human. I'd like to build more of that: human-centred systems in a world of agents, and technology that brings people a little closer to nature.
