Engineering leader from Ghent, Belgium. Husband, father of a seven-year-old, long-distance runner. That's about it, in a nutshell.

By day I build great things with the engineering team at Urbantz. By night (well, evening) I run a lot and build more things for myself and for my wife's Toddle & Tumble. The side projects live at Small Victories: mostly apps for kids, born from our own needs as a family, plus a few web tools and some open source. Everything is on the projects page.

"In the long run, it's just a bunch of short runs"

Apps (App Store and Google Play)

All of them are made for kids, and I'm proud that none of them track anything: no ads, no analytics.

• Rilo: the most mature one. A first phone for young children that only reaches the people their parents approve. Safe and end-to-end encrypted.
• Brush Buddy: a two-minute brushing timer that gets kids to brush all their teeth, not just one spot.
• Kiddypaint: turns any photo into a colour-by-number page. Simple, so don't expect too much of it. Your photos stay on the phone.
• Math Adventure: a calm, offline maths game for ages 6 to 9.

Fun web apps and handy tools

• Pass the Aux: a DJ booth for a party with friends, where every guest can suggest the next track (code).
• Photoboot: a party photo booth in the browser that prints stickers on a Bluetooth thermal printer (code).
• SEPA QR: payment QR codes, made entirely in your browser (code).
• The best Chrome extension in the world: maybe the one I'm proudest of. Elevator music for Google Meet, and a background in the colour of your shirt.
• google-calendar-sync: an Apps Script that keeps several Google calendars in sync across accounts.

Open source

• rustpad: my hosted fork of Eric Zhang's Rustpad, a minimal collaborative code editor, live at code.small-victories.co.
• small-victories-skillsbook and small-victories-bookings: two WordPress plugins, no longer maintained.
