Hi ✌️ I’m Pieter. I currently lead product at Summit. It’s a fun story on start-ups, product strategy, and all that stuff. I’m happy to talk shop anytime, preferably on Twitter.
Before joining Summit, I helped start a few companies as a founding engineer. The built-by-me app dock would look something like this.
Before moving into product, I started my career building good old websites websites either as part of an agency, or all by myself, for pretty cool clients like these.
