CTO in residence
from Belgium 🇧🇪

Peter, who stands at a height of 194cm (6"4), could have played in the NBA but chose to follow his true passion and became a software developer.

Starting out as a software developer, in the course of the years he helped develop software in all kinds of domains: from steel factories to speed pedelecs. These days he is a CTO and adheres to these clichés: showing up is half the battle, one small step at a time and not choosing is still a choice. In his free time you can find him on the basketball court or DIYing smart home projects. Although the DIY sometimes becomes DIWHY...

What is the best advice you would give to someone just starting out in your field?
Don't hold back asking questions even if they feel obvious or dumb. Somebody else is thinking them anyway but is too embarrassed to bring them up.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Getting my kids to listen the first time when I ask them to do something. ;-)

Claude as tester using Playwright and GitHub MCP

Automated testing

Ideas and insights

Claude can now test your frontend. With a bit of config, the Playwright MCP server lets Claude run browser tests, find bugs, and even generate reusable test code. This could be a game-changer for startups without QA.

When don't you need a fractional CTO

Collaboration

Ideas and insights

Team structure

Does every startup need an interim CTO? Fractional CTOs can accelerate growth and solve complex challenges—when brought in at the right time. Learn when it’s too early, too risky, or simply not the right fit for your business.
