SETUP Smartlappen
Built a full-stack generative AI platform for human-AI co-creation of Dutch "Smartlappen"
(sentimental folk songs), pre-dating the public release of ChatGPT. I owned the entire stack
end to end — from fine-tuning GPT-2 on a custom Dutch-language corpus to building the Node.js
backend and web frontend from scratch. The infrastructure was scaled from a single on-prem
server to a Google Cloud cluster handling 200+ concurrent users during live festival workshops.
The platform was deployed across multiple SETUP festivals and cultural events, putting generative
AI directly into the hands of non-technical audiences. Originally created for SETUP's project
"Tranen Op De Dansvloer" and later adapted for their "Jij & AI" workshop.
