Robin Vey

I build interfaces and the foundations underneath them – design systems, component libraries, API layers, agent skills and more. At Magic as a Service™ I work on Mirror, Vue Equipment and the products built on top of them.

I trained as a designer at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam before moving into software engineering.

Away from the keyboard I’m usually with my family or in the mountains, climbing, ski touring, paragliding and cycling.
