Career history
In the news
- Today, checking feasibility of new ideas in a large enterprise is tedious and requires a lot of human labor. This is because information is scattered and maintaining centralized documentation is expensive. At Caplo we believe AI agents can not only automate the documentation process, but also the benchmarking of your projects itself. Just like for humans, an up to date digital twin of your company is a prerequisite to be able to leverage AI on a strategic level. Pieterjan Soetaert shows how to set up this digital twin in an automated
- Hoe creëer je setup waarbij agents, architecten, business gebruikers, naadloos met elkaar samenwerken aan architectuur? Wat gebeurt er wanneer die agents sneller analyses en project voorstellen maken dan we ze kunnen beoordelen? Over die vraag mag ik volgende week spreken op DADD, tijdens mijn sessie over multi-player AI voor enterprise architects. Met veel plezier neem ik jullie mee hoe we wat we zien gebeuren in software ontwikkeling kunnen overzetten naar architectuur, maar ook wat de uitdagingen in de toekomst zullen zijn
- We created a little game for the Odoo experience event, to show how hard it is to take decisions when you don't know the true impact of it. Try it out on https://game.caplo.ai ! Facilitating faster and higher quality decisions are in my opinion the biggest outcome and value of any architecture team. Unfortunately, this is often too broad, vague and not that sexy... How do you sell it internally?
- Come and say hi on the Odoo experience!
- Gartner predicts that >40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 because of escalating costs, unclear business value or inadequate risk controls. Yesterday at BITAC, I explained some of the mechanics behind agentic systems such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Hermes. Running skills, calling tools and loading context can rack up token usage quickly. As architects, we need to understand how this works to assess which workflows benefit from agents and where a simpler, more predictable solution would work
- Kudo’s to Pieterjan Soetaert who pulled this project! Big step for us in proving that we take security seriously.
- Can AI build a capability map in 5 minutes? Jonas Van Riel challenged me to find out. Of course it can, all enterprise architects are doing this already with their favorite AI-tools. But generating isn’t the hard part. - Can you edit the result visually? - Can colleagues review and improve it together? - Can you use MCP, a built-in assistant, or make changes manually on a whiteboard? - And does the result become part of a shared, structured and versioned enterprise model? Instead of starting from a personal blank page, Caplo gives
- In two weeks, I’ll be speaking at the next BITAC Connect event about a topic I’ve been exploring hands-on: how AI skills and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can improve the quality and speed of enterprise architecture work. Bring your laptop, since you’ll try these tools yourself in a practical workshop! AI is moving incredibly fast. When you already have a busy job, it’s difficult to keep up with every new term, tool and protocol. Skills and MCP are getting plenty of attention, but I believe the best way to understand their
