What I'm Up To
Thijs VerreckOver the years I have found that I want to work on creating tools that either help people be more creative, or aid them in building new things. I'm experienced in engineering and design, having both designed web applications but also built infrastructure (from ML to sync engines) and front-end systems.
When I'm not coding, I love to read good book (both fiction or non-fiction) or do endurance sports (running, cycling and swimming).
What I'm doing now:
Prototyper
I'm currently building Prototyper — a tool designed to help people create their software ideas quickly. It's a passion project born from my belief that the creation of software should be accessible to more people.
Wavyr
Since 2021, I've been developing Wavyr, a low-code platform built with TypeScript. It's designed to make complex application development more intuitive and accessible for builders of all skill levels.
Past Projects
Before my current projects, I was lucky enough to work have a company that worked on conversational AI whilst I was at university. Having a bootstrapped company is probably the best line of work you can do as a student, and I'd recommend everybody to start a business whilst in college. I was able to work with some interesting international brands, from finance (Rabobank), to SaaS, and B2C. It gave me early exposure in AI, development and design.
Academic Background
In my studies I tried to cover a broad range of topics that I found interesting, from AI, maths and econometrics at Imperial College London to complex systems engineering and computer science at Delft University of Technology. I find my work most enjoyable when I can operate on the intersection of disciplines, and it still shapes how I approach every challenge. I'll always try combining expertise from different domains and systems thinking.
It's the combination of different 'lenses' that enables me to build tools that do not just work, but are genuinely workflow changing for the people who use them.
