Wanna talk?

Want to know more about me?

I'm a creative developer, with a passion for the internet, new technologies and side projects. I'm an indie developer, currently building an empire of price trackers

I started out making websites from a young age. First in Dreamweaver, later in Flash (😱). The more websites I made, the more I started really programming; first in PHP, now mainly in Python and Javascript/Node.

Side-projects are my first love. Some of them got in the news in Belgium and the Netherlands. Others went viral on reddit and quite a few have proven to be quite lucrative side gigs.

Side projects I've made

Prijzenvolger.com

Ahhhhh, the original price tracker I've made. In 2016 I launched this as a price tracker for over 50 Belgian & Dutch shops. It was written in PHP (Laravel) with some jQuery sprinkled on top. It was hosted on a mix of AWS and DigitalOcean.

As a novice developer and a database n00b, it became super hard for me to maintain it. On top of that it became superrrr expensive.

A friend of mine explained me how I could restructure the data to save a lot of money, and as I became a better developer I decided in 2021 to give it another go. Now written with NextJS (how AWESOME is that framework!?), hosted on Google Cloud, it tracks over 30 million Bol.com products.
