Hey there! You'll find me online as BraveOtter, but most people just call me George. Both names have a bit of a story.
The name 'George' comes from when my wife and I first met online. I was being cagey about my real name, so she just called me 'George' on a whim. Her guess was so close that I gave up and told her my real name, which in Dutch translates directly to George. It stuck.
When I started OtterSoftware, the plan was to build things live on stream. That was the whole idea: code in the open, hang out with friends, and build a community of developers. Life had other plans. I ended up at an AI development agency, where I focus fully on AI integration and automation. It has been eating all my time since.
Honestly, I'm not mad about it. Most of my working hours now go into software where an LLM decides what to do next, calls the right tools, and drives a process from start to finish.
