What if you could search for salaries not by exact keywords, but by describing a job in natural language? “Senior developer in Brussels with a company car” or “nurse working in Antwerp” — and get relevant results based on semantic similarity rather than string matching. This is exactly what I built with BeSalary: an AI-powered salary search engine that extracts structured data from Reddit posts using local LLMs and enables semantic search through vector embeddings. You can try it live at besalary-wine.vercel.app. [read more]

On http://www.brussel.be/webcam-grote-markt you can find a webcam stream of the Grand Place in Brussels. When I saw this I was wondering if I could build a model to trace individual people and eventually track their behaviour while walking on one of the most touristy spots in Brussels. I set up a website with TensorFlow.js using the coco-ssd model but was slightly dissapointed with the results.

Nepal ticked off all the boxes I was looking for in my next trip, so without too much overthinking slightly nervous I booked the flights. [read more]

I got the question from a client who was making frames for medal with a cnc machine if we could determine the dimensions of a medal from a simple picture. Today the client has to request the physical medals being mailed to him in order to be able to create the digital model that can be consumed by his CNC machine. iOS 12 comes these days with the Measure app that uses augmented reality to provide dimension information on objects that are being scanned with the camera.

This scene is a small project that I built in my free time that allowed me to experiment with writing custom materials shader textures and post processing effects in Three.js. Ping me if you’re interested in the source code.
