Custom Applications
The applications that matter most are the ones nobody sells. I start with your workflow — not a framework, not a template. The architecture follows the problem, not the other way around.

Custom business applications for companies that make real things. One developer, ten years, Brussels.

what I do
Three disciplines, one studio. The same person who designs your system will field the call when it misbehaves.
01 — Custom Applications
The applications that matter most are the ones nobody sells. I start with your workflow — not a framework, not a template. The architecture follows the problem, not the other way around.
02 — Production Systems
I build production systems on factory floors, in workshops, next to the machines. Harness managers, CNC suites, inventory systems — the backbone applications where an outage shows up on the shop schedule, not in a dashboard.
03 — Digital Tools
A tool that does one thing well is worth more than a platform that does twenty things badly. Technical drawing viewers, data applications, configuration managers. Small scope, high quality.

Rail industry
Thousands of wire harness configurations managed with a filing system from the 1990s. Every new train model meant weeks of manual cross-referencing.

Engineering teams needed a collaborative drawing and annotation surface that could carry review comments from first sketch through to the drawing that leaves for the supplier.

A clinical nutrition research group was running their data pipeline through brittle spreadsheets. Study versioning was manual. The review queue existed only in someone's head.

I don't work from a spec someone hands me. I start with the actual work — how your people do it, where it breaks — because that's what decides what's worth building.
Then I get it running for real: a working application inside your company, with all its rules and its IT department. I get on with those people, respect their security, and don't leave a mess — so they let me in where they'd keep most outsiders out.
LLMs changed how code gets written. They didn't change what makes software good: understanding the problem, and caring how it runs. That's still a craft, and it's the part I've always done.
