> DANIEL BACKHOVE · HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT

I build the whole stack.

As Head of Development at Streamcheck, I lead an MDR-certified medical device from app to firmware. Beyond that, I support our group of companies as head of development, currently with an app for smart electric heaters. New industries and technologies draw me in, which is why I also build my own products on the side. Whatever you want to know, my agent will answer.

How I build

I don't just use AI tools, I engineer them into the development process. Custom agents, skills and workflows that let a single developer move fast in a complex codebase.

Coding agents

Custom agents, skills and commands as a fixed part of the development process.

Claude Code Custom Skills Model Routing

MCP

Custom MCP servers and integrations, for example to create quizzes in Quiztus.

MCP Integrations

Claude

The Claude API in production, including the agent on this page.

AI is a tool, not a replacement. Like a very capable intern: fast, tireless, but needs guidance and review. The developer who understands what they're building will always outperform the one who blindly copies.

~/whoami

I'm a software developer turned engineering lead — comfortable everywhere from mobile apps to cloud infrastructure to embedded firmware. I started in the .NET world, then rebuilt from scratch when I joined a startup: Flutter, Spring Boot, AWS, React. New stacks don't slow me down — they're what keeps me sharp.

Over time, the role grew beyond writing code. Now I spend as much energy on people and process as I do on architecture. A strong team consistently outperforms any individual — so I invest in knowledge sharing, workshops, and a culture where shipping quality work feels good.

Outside of work: cooking with my wife, gravel biking through Münsterland, our Australian Shepherd, and building things with my hands as a counterbalance to the keyboard.
