“From Making Things to Making Sense:

My journey of turning a passion into a career, and a career into a path of self-discovery”

Aren’t you tired of being held back by half-baked solutions? Aren’t you pissed at your monkey brain keeping you up at night urging you to take action? But, like in a dream, you’re only able to run in slow motion. This frustration can be a powerful source of curiosity.

Having founded and act as the Chief Innovation Officer of openfab.be for a decade, I have honed my ability to connect concepts and develop creative solutions to problems.

I believe that a balanced approach is key to unlocking our full potential as human beings, which is why I am constantly exploring both the latest tools and technologies as well as the timeless human principles of self-discovery and growth. I believe that these are the tools who can help us harness the power of a "superpumped" collective human intelligence.

But I cannot do this alone. This is why I am writing here.

I want to connect with a community of like-minded people who share my passion for finding better solutions. By sharing our ideas and organizing our efforts, we can finally take action and overcome the initial inertia of all epic quests. If you're ready to join me on this journey, let's get started together.

Master autodidact

I'm Nicolas, an European autodidact and maker. This blog is a record of my ideas, analogies and epic quests I feel are important to embark on. It's my way of sharing what I've learned and discovered along my journey, as well as to inspire and connect with others who may be itched by similar topics.

At the core of my journey,

I strive for balance between my work and personal life. My passions motivate me, and curiosity drives me. I can lose myself sometimes, but acknowledging this and keeping them in check, as well as maintaining control, are challenges that are part of my journey.

Projects I’m working on:

Beginnings of great explorations.
