Bouwman · Dutch · to build, to cultivate
I drink, and
I build things.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a ninja, an architect, and a pilot, in that order. So I split my time between Tae Kwon Do, flight simulators, and elaborate Lego builds. The ninja dreams died somewhere along the way, but the Lego passion lives on, just with different bricks.
The projects below are a creative outlet, built in my spare time: some for fun, some to make money, some because they're useful, and some to teach myself something new. Think of it as a running list of side projects, experiments, failures, and lessons learned, kept so I can look back and laugh at all the crazy ideas.
As for the pilot dream, stay tuned.

About
To build or not to build.
In 2023 I started building on my own: e-commerce stores, automated content pipelines, physical products, newsletters, mobile apps, AI agents and consulting.
Most of these projects are retired. Each one taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way: own the product, distribution beats product, and the why matters most. Check out my lessons learned page for a running list.
I keep this page as a running record. If something here looks interesting or useful to you, or if you want to talk about building, don't hesitate to reach out!
