I am currently on an epic road trip, driving from the Netherlands to South Africa . Follow along on Instagram .

Hello!

About

After finishing various projects such as a drawbot, a drone, a CAN-bus display, and a WiFi counter, I created this website to document my future projects.

As a maker, I always start from scratch, and work towards a fully designed 'product'. I like learning new things, and I hope that sharing my work inspires you to do the same.
