PORTFOLIO — V.2026 ● OPEN FOR PROJECTS

TASTE × GRIT

Bridging the gap between high-end aesthetic curation, software logic, and raw physical execution. If it's a bottleneck — digital or physical — it gets solved.

01

THE DUALITY

Two operating modes. One standard.

A AESTHETICS / LOGISTICS

THE LENS

An eye trained on material, proportion and flow — and the operational muscle to move it across the planet at volume.

  • Sourcing premium textiles — linen, jute, natural fibre
  • Spatial layout & interior curation
  • Global shipping pipelines ex-China
  • High-volume operations & supply management
B UTILITY / EXECUTION

THE GRIT

Clean code and dirty hands. Systems get built, machines get fixed, weight gets lifted — whatever the bottleneck demands.

  • Software engineering — Python, JS, ML pipelines
  • Real-time systems: maps, ships, live data
  • Woodworking & fabrication
  • Heavy-duty maintenance & industrial problem-solving

P.01LOCAL AI

CHATFORGE

Local LLM chat where conversations are living objects — drag two chats together to merge their context, with persistent cross-session memory and LoRA compilation. 100% on your own GPU; nothing leaves the machine.

P.02MARITIME

AIS VESSEL TRACKER

Real-time maritime intelligence: 1,050+ vessels streamed over WebSockets, Atlantic gap coverage, EU MRV emissions matching, and a wind-propulsion retrofit score. Live in production on this server.

PARLIAMENT VOTE PREDICTOR

Predicting Dutch parliamentary votes from debate speeches. Fine-tuned RobBERT stacked with XGBoost — 71.9% test accuracy, +11pts over the party-majority baseline on unseen post-2023 votes.

THEWHEREWHAT

A real-time anonymous map of what's happening around you — event bubbles that grow with upvotes and fade with time. Iterated since 2021, from PHP to a WebSocket-powered Node.js build.

WIND4CHANGE

Live ship tracking fused with wind-field visualization to find candidate vessels and routes for wind-assisted propulsion retrofits — up to 30% real-world fuel savings.
