About

Hello, world! I'm Kenny Vaneetvelde, based in Diepenbeek, Belgium. C++ got me at age 12 and I never stopped: two decades of code, over 15 years of it professionally. I went from backend to frontend to developer experience engineering, and the last few years to AI.

I built Atomic Agents out of frustration: the popular agent frameworks hid everything important behind abstractions, and the systems built on them kept breaking in production. The framework now has ~6,000 stars and runs real products. More about my projects

Today I work with companies that pay for AI and want real output from it. I set up Claude properly, build the missing integrations, and train teams until the new way of working sticks. How working with me works

Why "Eigenwise"

My mother has a word for me: eigenwijs. Dutch for stubborn, the kind that insists on checking whether the popular answer is the right one. She has a point.

There's also a math joke in there, for my fellow nerds.
