I build tasteful consumer apps.
Product designer and engineer. I design, build and grow my own mobile/web apps.
Most apps work. Few feel right. I build the ones that do.
I'm 24, from the Netherlands, and I've designed and built software used by millions of people. Design, viral organic marketing and distribution, engineering that scales: I handle it all.

iOS and Android
The postcard: Greetings from Gotcha, in big block letters with a different animal caught in the app inside each letter. It reads “Catch ’em all in real life!”
On the back, Jurre writes: Snap any animal, bird or bug. Gotcha identifies it. P.S. Design, code and marketing: all of it by me, solo.
iOS
The postcard: A travel poster in Combo blue: the white two-screen handheld from the app on a sunburst, under the word Combo. It reads “A Nintendo DS in your pocket.”
On the back, Jurre writes: Combo turns your iPhone Duo into a Nintendo DS.
Web
The postcard: Appdeck in silver block letters above a fanned hand of cards, each holding one of Appdeck's clay icons: a ship, a control panel, mail, a megaphone, a lifebuoy and people. It reads “Your apps, run by agents.”
On the back, Jurre writes: AI made building apps possible for anyone. Running them is still a challenge. Appdeck is an agentic brain that knows your app inside out and grows it to your next revenue goal. P.S. It’s what I run my own apps on.
We only get one life, and we're in control of how we live it. So I treat it like a video game and max out every stat, not just the work.
Your keyboard plays too, starting at A.
