Developer and builder based in the Netherlands. I enjoy creating projects that combine software, hardware, and interactive experiences.

I am a developer from Spaarndam in the Netherlands. Most of my projects sit somewhere between software, electronics, and experimentation.

I enjoy building things that combine multiple disciplines. Multiplayer games, hardware prototypes, event-scale systems, and unusual interactive installations are the kinds of projects I tend to gravitate toward.

A lot of my work comes out of hackathons, community events, or ideas that start as small experiments and slowly evolve into something larger.

PartyVR is a multiplayer VR event system where 20–30 players share the same physical room while playing a set of custom VR games.

The project focuses on solving practical problems around device orchestration, networking, and synchronization across large numbers of standalone VR headsets.

A project built during Hack Club Moonshot.

When something is thrown into the bin, it triggers a full disco show including music, LED lighting, a smoke machine, and a rotating disco ball. The goal was to turn a simple everyday object into an interactive installation.

I design and build custom controller boards and firmware for large LED matrices and lighting installations. These projects involve PCB design, microcontrollers, and real-time visual control systems.

Many of my projects originate from Hack Club events. These are intense multi-day or multi-week building environments where participants focus on creating real projects rather than coursework.
