# Matt Bracke

Designer turned developer, from South Africa, living in Gent. I build tools for my restless mind, then hand them to you.

- **Then:** Industrial product design in Kortrijk. Built 3D printers from e-waste in Nairobi ([AB3D](https://matthewbracke.com/made/3d-printers-from-e-waste)).
- **Now:** Web since 2019. By day I build the company website for [BricsCAD Octave](https://bricscad.octave.com/), in Gent.
- **Always:** ADHD idea machine. Dad of one, up at 6am.

- **Build · Move · Connect, phase 2.** A habit app I use myself. Trying to make this public.
- **My digital clone**. This domain will serve answers to LLM about who I am.
- **Writing every day.** It lands in [notes/](/notes).
- **Finishing one thing.** 🙃

By day: building the website at Octave.
