Roel Heesterbeek is a tech entrepreneur and hands-on developer with over 20 years of experience helping organisations adopt practical AI and automation. As owner of TechBazen and co-owner of Place the Moment, he blends full‑stack delivery with product thinking to accelerate teams and ship impactful, user-focused solutions. He specialises in turning curious professionals into in‑house AI experts by teaching concrete, build-first workflows with tools like n8n and AI agents rather than theory.

Based in Eindhoven, he combines freelance senior frontend leadership across brands like Philips Hue with teaching and bespoke 1:1 pilots to embed durable automation skills inside organisations.
