About

The story behind
red spark.

I'm Burney van Leenen, a developer and indie maker based in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

I spent years managing digital projects and running an e-commerce business. Along the way I discovered what I enjoy most: building my own software.

red spark is what happens when you stop building for clients and start building for yourself. Small, focused tools for people who actually use them.

Principles

What I believe

  • Building less — do fewer things, but do them well
  • Shipping early — a real product beats a perfect plan
  • Staying independent — no investors, no board meetings
  • Solving real problems — software for coaches, not software for software's sake

When I'm not coding, I'm on the hockey field coaching at HC Tilburg, or trying to take beautiful photos.
