# Hi, I'm Wout. I build digital products that hold up — and sometimes even make sense.

- Creative Developer
- Ghent, Belgium
- Born in the Game Boy Color era

**Same kid, new console: my laptop.** I build space-grade software for people
with average jobs — websites, webshops, installations and the occasional smart
contract.
