"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?"
Inventor.
For 20 years, I've been inventing technology for businesses.
With software, hardware, and loooots of creativity.
Now also in 🇲🇹
IBA Benelux
Split Flap
Could you invent something for IBA's 25th anniversary in Belgium? I have a vague idea for some kind of art-meets-tech installation. Something we could exhibit, put in our office, or even take to trade shows.
A retro-inspired invention that sparks curiosity and brings IBA's technology to life.
MIRTO
Intelligent Mail Automation
An automated image-processing table. Designed and built entirely from scratch for the lovely people at Mirto.
It analyses, measures, digitises, scans, recognises, and sends physical mail straight into the cloud.
TRENDWOLVES
A.I. Phone Booth
I used to get really nervous about answering phone calls. With AI, I could practise first, without anyone listening. That made me feel much more confident when I had to handle real conversations.
An AI-powered phone booth for Trendwolves and AXA that simulates realistic phone conversations. Users can practise at their own pace, without the pressure of a real customer or colleagues listening in.
Talbot house
Indoor GPS
I want a tablet with a personality of its own. One that guides visitors through the museum, just like Jack Sparrow's compass.
A custom-designed GPS chip that makes indoor positioning of tablets possible.

Hey BRAM, what exactly do you do?
I'm an inventor.
What?! Professionally?
Yep
So what do you invent?
Anything!
As long as it involves technology and I'm convinced it can be done.
For yourself?
No, almost always for clients.
Who for?
Businesses.
How does that work?
Clients come to me with a tricky problem or a new idea.
Usually something they can't find anyone else to build.
They ask me to think about it.
And that's where the conversation starts.
Great ideas don't build themselves.
They need fire.
I'm a computer engineer by training, but to me, technology goes far beyond screens and the internet. Technology doesn't have to be neat and tidy. In fact, I prefer it when it isn't.
