About me
Jan van Hout
Project manager, builder, and automation nerd from Rotterdam. I bring retail operations, technology, and AI together.
My story
For over 6 years, I've been the link between Samsung and the shop floor. As project manager at Tchai, I coordinate rollouts across hundreds of retail locations in the Benelux — from planograms and production to technicians and deadlines.
On the side, I build my own AI infrastructure. 11 agents, 19 MCP servers, a Hetzner stack running 24/7. Not as a hobby, but because I believe autonomous systems are the future of how we work.
And if I can't buy something, I make it myself. From 3D-printed car parts to CNC-milled custom pieces.
