The minds behind Planned
Co-founder & CTO
Hi, I’m Geoffrey De Smet, co-founder of Timefold and creator of OptaPlanner. I’ve made it my life’s mission to free the world of wasteful scheduling. How? By building world-class software, by founding an AI startup, and by educating the world about complex planning optimization.
DevRel
Developer Relations Engineer at Timefold, Java Champion, and a dedicated educator. I love exploring upcoming tech by tinkering on silly projects and I get super energized by bridging old and new technologies. That sometimes earns me the label “contrarian,” which I proudly embrace. In a hype-driven world, my only focus is bringing value using the best tools, not just the most recent ones. Many companies are unwittingly sitting on a lot of wasted potential and I am excited to educate people about the way to unlock it: with PlanningAI.
