A self-taught builder from Bruges → Knokke-Heist, Belgium. I like turning vague things into working things: a port operations desk, an offline mobile workflow, a tiny Mac utility, a data pipeline, or a business case with an actual next step.

Half business brain, half terminal window. I enjoy the space where software meets operations: understanding the problem, shaping the workflow, building a useful first version, and finding out what breaks.

Pick a lane. There are operational tools, native apps, enterprise workflows and a few ideas that escaped the notebook.

Understand the operation → define the smallest useful workflow → build it → exercise the awkward cases → improve it.

I'm interested in the details that make a tool usable: what happens offline, where an answer came from, who approves an action, what a KPI actually means, and what a user should do when something fails.

September 2026 · Git Personality Profiler 🧬

What happens when commit history gets a cyberpunk identity crisis? A Python tool that explores commit patterns, vocabulary and playful developer archetypes.

Try this: run it against one of your own repositories and inspect the report. The archetypes are entertainment, not a scientific personality assessment.

git clone https://github.com/phlppgdfry/git-personality-profiler.git
cd git-personality-profiler
python3 profiler.py /path/to/your/repository

Explore the side quest → · Installation notes →

• An ORM expression still has to become valid SQL. DocuRelay's enum ToString() translation needed to become a query parameter.
• A feature in source is not a feature in the download. ClickTrack's release status must follow the actual distributed artifact.
• “Ready” needs a definition. PortOps separates pickup readiness, loading readiness and conflicting observations.
• A demo needs an honest data story. The Fabric build starts with explicitly synthetic events and a visible implementation plan.

_{Several repositories later.}

🐛 Exhibit 01 — “Surely SQLite speaks ToString.”

It did not. A DocuRelay query translated an enum conversion into a SQLite function that did not exist. The fix passed the enum value as a parameter, followed by a fresh Android runtime check.

Souvenir: inspect the generated query before questioning reality.

The documented bug and validation

📦 Exhibit 02 — “It works in the source code.”

A useful sentence for developers. Less useful to the person downloading a ZIP. ClickTrack's public release and newer license-key implementation need distinct status labels until the new archive is ready.

Souvenir: the ZIP gets the final vote.

🍿 Bonus exhibits — scope creep & the production gremlin

_{Developer comedy. These are original illustrations, not incident reports.}

A few concrete checkpoints from the public build log:

• 7 June 2026: ClickTrack v1.0.2 published as the notarized legacy Pro download. Release
• 28–29 July 2026: DocuRelay Android emulator workflow documented, then rechecked after the SQLite fix. Runtime evidence
• 8 September 2026: PortOps gains procedure retrieval and durable, human-reviewed action proposals. Commit

Golf, kitesurfing, chess, and a healthy respect for the North Sea wind forecast. Originally from Bruges, now based in Knokke-Heist. Dutch, French and English.

_{Meanwhile, the wind forecast has opened another tab.}

A small idea       → a note
An interesting bug → a late evening
A messy workflow   → a prototype
A windy day        → check the forecast
One more feature   → famous last words

Interested in operational software, data products, native apps or turning a business problem into a working prototype? I'd enjoy comparing notes.
