About

Curious by nature.
Builder by choice.

I’m Ivo: a curious, hands-on creator drawn to new ideas and the chance to make them real. I build websites and digital tools, experiment with AI, and find inspiration in everything from 3D printing to travel, great food and discovering new places.

Always following a question

When something catches my interest, I can really get into it. I want to understand how it works, what makes it useful, and whether there’s a better way to do it. That curiosity takes me in many directions, from technology and AI to 3D printing, travel and the places and food I discover along the way.

Ideas are better when you build them

I often notice things that could be easier, smarter or more pleasant to use. I’d rather explore a solution than leave the idea on paper: learn what’s needed, try it, adjust it and turn it into something practical. For me, technology is most rewarding when it solves a real problem and makes something more accessible.

A portfolio that keeps moving

My projects bring together different interests: sports tools, games, data utilities and other digital experiments. They’re a way to learn by making, follow an idea across disciplines and see what it can become. The common thread is curiosity paired with the urge to create something people can actually use.

Work is one part of the picture

My work spans GS1 Netherlands, GS1 in Europe and GS1 Global. Across these contexts, I work with product information and standards, exploring how data can connect systems, organisations and real-world needs. This is one part of what I do. My independent projects give me room to explore a wider range of ideas. I’m always keen to learn something new and bring the next useful idea to life.

Professional work / LinkedIn

Product data that systems can understand.

At GS1 Netherlands, I work on standards and product information for digital use cases. On LinkedIn, I share work on the GS1 Web Vocabulary, GS1 Digital Link, Digital Product Passports and the role of AI in retail.
