About me
Hi, I’m Robbe.
Software engineer from Sint-Amands, Belgium. By day I build software for international clients. On the side I keep local businesses in order online: website, bookings, email, all of it.
Why I do this
I grew up in Sint-Amands, surrounded by small-business owners. People who work hard and are great at their craft, yet spend their evenings fighting a website that broke or a booking tool that got more expensive again.
Most website builders deliver something and disappear. While a business needs the exact opposite: someone who stays. Someone you can simply call when something comes up.
So that is how I work. One fixed amount per month, everything included: building, hosting, changes, upkeep. You run your business, I handle the rest.

Don’t believe me, believe them
Bodhi, DeBleserIT and Boom en Tuinen Lis are on this site by name, and on Google with their reviews. Feel free to call them.

Self-employed on the side
The first local businesses online: DeBleserIT and Boom en Tuinen Lis.
More than websites
Bodhi takes bookings online, routess launched, and this site got a full rebuild.
Built on my own time
I run and cycle, and I wanted to plan routes that follow the actual trail. So I built routess: a route planner with its own tile server, public API and documentation. Not client work, just an itch. But it shows what is possible if your business ever needs more than a website.
The server rack in the basement
Your website does not run at some anonymous hosting company, but on a Kubernetes cluster I manage myself. With automatic backups, security updates and monitoring that alerts me before you notice anything.
Overkill for a massage practice website? Quite the opposite. Because everything is self-managed, I can deliver everything the plans promise. No middlemen, no surprises on the invoice.
And when something fails? That is planned for: multiple servers that take over from each other, a second internet connection that kicks in automatically, and batteries that bridge power cuts.
Simplified, but this is genuinely how it runs.
What I work with
Open source
Type-safe SDK and CLI for the *arr stack
Docker sidecar automating Servarr setups
Open-source route planner, also hosted
TypeScript client for the waarneming.nl API

Go ahead, pull the plug
All those failovers above, do they actually work? Try it: break something and watch what your website does.
Psst: you can click the servers, the coax cable and the power plug.
