AI Engineer & XR Developer
A hybrid of engineer, builder, designer, and storyteller based in Zulte, Belgium.
Hi, I'm Jan Blomme, a hybrid of engineer, builder, designer, and storyteller based in Zulte, Belgium. I'm currently studying Multimedia Creative Technologies at HOWEST, with a strong specialization in AI engineering and XR development, and I've completed an exchange at Portsmouth University in the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries.
But degrees only tell half the story. What really defines me is how I build things that actually work. I don't just write code. I design systems, build devices, tune interfaces, and connect every layer from microcontroller firmware to intuitive user experience.
I don't chase buzzwords. I design, test, break, and rebuild until it works.
I adapt to new languages, stacks, and platforms quickly.
I thrive solo but bring leadership when needed.
I understand interface, feedback, and design decisions.
From soldering joints to cloud APIs, I connect everything.
Most developers stay digital. I bridge the digital and physical. I'm not afraid to solder something at 3AM, write firmware from scratch, or design a UI that doesn't just "work", it feels right.
My tools are made to be used. My apps are designed to be intuitive. My stack doesn't care about trends, only results. And my mission is simple: build tools, apps, and experiences that do something real.
Whether it's a tactile XR controller made from wood and ball bearings, a local-first study suite with full offline support, or a fully integrated IoT cocktail machine, I'm constantly fusing creativity and engineering into real, usable tools."
Building practical solutions across diverse industries while developing expertise in AI, XR, and hardware.

I work across the full stack, and then some.
Bridging the digital and physical worlds through innovative hardware and software solutions.
A nostalgia-driven photo journaling app built with Flutter and Firebase. Designed for private use with timeline, daily prompts, tagging, and exportable metadata. Timeline and interface evoke warmth and memory with a custom design language.
A fully offline-first productivity platform built in modular HTML/CSS/JS. Includes Flashcards, Infinite Whiteboard, Pomodoro Timer, Markdown Notes, and more. Unified theming and consistent UX across tools.
An open-source XR hardware controller using omnidirectional ball-on-bearing tracking, powered by a Seeed XIAO RP2040. Features C++ firmware, paddle input, and immersive JS-based demos. Fully documented with CAD, firmware, and BOM on GitHub.
A proof-of-concept IoT drink dispenser with Raspberry Pi UI and Python-controlled GPIO motors. Includes touchscreen interface, physical controls, and preset recipes. Designed for demo purposes and rapid iteration.
Runner-up at hackathon for Belgian Railways. Created an onboarding app using Microsoft PowerApps. Emphasized mobile-first UX, accessibility, and internal workflow optimization for enterprise environments.
