The person behind ovrick
Trained as a developer. Shaped on the shop floor.
I'm from Sintra, Portugal, and have lived in Turnhout since 2025. In Portugal I learned to code and spent two years building web applications as an IT consultant. Then I spent four years in retail, selling technology to people who weren't technical. That is where I learned what really matters on a small business's website: speed, honesty, not getting in the customer's way.
I built ovrick to do for small businesses what I wish someone had done for the places I worked. Ovrick started on 1 October 2026. Every client gets a design of their own, never an existing theme in a different colour. You get a landing page in 72 hours and a full site in a week, counted from the day I have all your material, with no agency layers between you and the person writing your code.
You email me, I read it. Something breaks, I fix it. That's the whole model.

Working with me
Why work with me.
The jobs before this one are the reason I work the way I do.
- I know how a sale happens.Four years in retail, selling technology to people who were not technical. I know the questions your customers ask before they buy, and I explain things in their words, not in jargon.
- I know what your customers do on a phone.I spent years on a shop floor. Your site is built for the person checking your hours, prices or address on a phone, in a hurry, outside your door.
- I build products, not only pages.Trained as a developer, then an IT consultant on real client work. Indica Online is my own: I built it and I keep it running.
- One person, from the first call to maintenance.No account manager, no hand-offs. You email me, I answer, and I am also the one writing your code.
- Portuguese, working from Turnhout.From Sintra, Portugal, in Turnhout since 2025. Native Portuguese, for the Portuguese and Brazilian community. Fluent English, conversational Spanish.
- A deadline is a departure time.A year in logistics, where a missed cut-off is a missed departure. When I give you a date, I keep it.
How I got here.
Trained as a developer, a few years away from code, and building again since 2026. The years first, then what the years don't explain.
The technical line.
- 2014 to 2017Programming and management of computer systemsThree years of it, in Portugal. Where the structure and the logic come from.
- 2017Web development internWorked on client sites in the company's own framework and built a complete website end to end as my final project.
- 2019 to 2021IT consultantBuilt and maintained web applications on the OutSystems platform, next to senior developers, on real client work.
- 2020OutSystems 11 Associate Web DeveloperCertified, plus the Core Ramp Up track.
- 2026Indica Online, founder and developerMy own product. A live directory with a database, accounts and an owner-claim flow. More on it below.
- 2026ovrick, founder and developerStarted on 1 October 2026, from Turnhout. Five demo sites online, each on its own domain. I put the packages together, write the code and do the prospecting.
- Everything on this domainThe five template demos and the directory below. I designed, wrote and deployed all of it myself.
I will not tell you I am a ten‑year veteran. I will tell you that every site I have put online is live, fast, and built by the person you will be emailing.
What I can build.
No page builder, no theme bought from a marketplace. Your site is code, and you own it.
- 01
The site itself
Written for your business, not assembled from a theme somebody else bought. Fast on a phone first, clear on a laptop, and built so a page can be added next year without starting over.
- 02
When it needs more than pages
Some businesses need accounts, listings or bookings that manage themselves. I build that too, with an admin only you can reach and one customer's details never visible to another.
- 03
Proving it works
Every page is checked automatically in real browsers before it ships, so a change in one place cannot quietly break another. Every site gets a security review before it goes live.
- 04
Live, and kept live
Domain, certificate, backups and an uptime check from day one, plus the mail records and the European cookie and privacy side. One person who answers when something looks wrong.
More than a website.
Some businesses need a product, not a page. A database, accounts, listings that manage themselves. Here is the first.
Indica Online
In progressA searchable directory of Brazilian and Portuguese businesses across Belgium. Owners claim and manage their own listing; visitors find places by city and category.DatabaseBusiness registrationSearch by cityModerationVisit indicaonline.euNobody briefed it and nobody paid for it
- What I built
- The database, the search, the owner sign-up, the moderation queue and the admin behind it
- What I did besides building
- Found the businesses, contacted the owners cold, wrote every listing, ran the SEO
- Live now
- Listings across four Belgian cities, at indicaonline.eu
- Built and waiting
- An expansion into the Netherlands
It is the clearest answer I can give to what happens when a project needs more than pages.
