Hi, I'm Ovie. This is my digital space—a place to share my work and interests

Work & Projects

I believe technology, when wielded with intention, is the most powerful tool for solving human challenges.

Here are a few projects where I've experienced this firsthand, from building complex business management systems to exploring new ways of shared human experiences.

Bird Box

"Business in a box. Everything you need, in one app." — This was my main job for about 3 years until June 2025.

It is a comprehensive business management app that helps businesses streamline their operations, from invoicing to project management.

It was a great opportunity to work on a complex, high-impact product with tons of moving parts and a strong engineering team.

Eurail

"Explore Europe by rail." - This was my first major role in the European tech market.

I worked on the official Eurail website building features like the timetable and trip planner, which helped millions of travelers plan their journeys across Europe.

It was a great experience working with a large, international team and learning about the complexities of travel tech.

Explorations

My curiosity drives me to constantly tinker with new technologies.

My GitHub is a public workshop for these experiments, from crude Solana trading bots and AI-powered meeting assistants to personal automation tools.

Beyond the Screen

When I'm not coding, I'm usually exploring other interests. Here's a glimpse into what's been on my mind lately.

Books & Reading

When I'm able to find the time, I love sinking into a good book.

Books that are able to craft a compelling narrative, that explore different realities, or that provide insights into the human condition are my favorites.

Media & Film

I used to watch a lot more movies and TV shows when I was younger, but these days, I probably visit the cinema once every few months.

I still enjoy a good story though, whether it's a mind-breaking plot twist like in "Incendies" or a painfully sweet story like "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

Hobbies & Creations

From tinkering with electronics to playing the piano, I love exploring new hobbies and sharing my creations.
I want to share more of my creative side here as a way to keep track of my progress and hopefully inspire myself whenever I feel stuck.
