Hi, I'm Mike Heijmans 👋

I build AI-native organizations and applications for the future.

I'm a senior software leader and engineer with two decades of experience across large-scale platform engineering, fintech, and embedded systems. For the last few years I've gone all-in on applied AI: multi-agent coding pipelines, MCP servers that let agents drive real applications, and the observability to measure whether any of it actually works.

I'm also the founder of IgorBox, a cloud-connected show control platform for haunted attractions, escape rooms, and immersive entertainment. That means I spend a lot of time writing embedded C on ESP32 (ESP-IDF), designing PCBs, and building the Next.js platform that ties it all together.

🤖 Applied AI

AI isn't a spectator sport for me. I use it, build with it, and instrument it every day:

  • Multi-agent development workflows where coding agents work across multiple repos, negotiate API contracts with each other, and hand off work through Linear
  • MCP servers that connect agents to running applications, turning AI from a code generator into a developer that can test its own work
  • OpenTelemetry instrumentation on my AI usage, so workflow decisions come from real token and cost data instead of vibes
  • Writing about all of it: context engineering, attention bias in agent behavior, and what actually works in production

🛠️ What I work with

  • Platform: Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, observability (OpenTelemetry, Coralogix)
  • Web: Next.js, TypeScript, Vercel
  • Embedded: C on ESP32 with ESP-IDF, PCB design, DMX/RS-485, real-time show control
  • Elsewhere: Python, Ruby, Docker, and whatever the problem calls for

📦 Things I've open sourced

✈️ Beyond the keyboard

When I'm not shipping code I'm flying airplanes (sometimes upside-down), cave diving, making music, playing ham radio and SDR, and building elaborate animated Halloween props. I run a charity haunted attraction every October, which is a surprisingly effective way to field test show control hardware.
