I build software.
I run my own infrastructure.
Software engineer and self-hoster. Everything on this site is self-built and self-served — apps I ship, a k3s homelab I operate end to end, and long-form writeups on how it's all wired together. I also build fast, honest brochure sites for Dutch ZZP'ers who want a real site without agency overhead.
$ ls ~/projects
Apps I've shipped or am still building, most weekends and evenings. Some live, some very much wip.
A shared household dashboard — calendar, chores, and the family's daily rhythm in one screen.
A kinetic-typography clock, animated hands re-drawing themselves as tiny clocks. Pure canvas fun.
A single, mysterious button. What it does is the whole point — details land when it ships.
A companion app for a VR social space — presence, events, and quality-of-life tools for regulars.
Early-stage trading-sim concept — tracking positions and strategy across simulated race markets.
A small side-project taking shape — more detail lands here once it's further along.

The homelab this site runs on — a k3s cluster, deployed via GitOps, no cloud rental in sight.
# GitOps via a flux-template repo — every change here is a commit, not a click. More on the homelab →
$ tail -f ~/writeups/*.md
Long-form deep-dives into how this whole setup is actually wired together.
$ cat ~/work/history.log
Companies, roles, and the projects I've shipped professionally — the full timeline lives on its own page.
