I have always built things.
Software, companies, products, teams and customer experiences. Now I build with AI.
I’m Perry Dolmans, an AI builder, entrepreneur and creative technologist based in Antwerp. I create apps, automated workflows, digital products and experimental tools by combining technology, business experience and human insight.
Currently building
From writing software and building businesses to leading teams and developing AI-powered products.
Practical products, built across disciplines
Where technology, business and people meet
My work sits between disciplines. That is not an accident. It is where I do my best thinking.
A foundation in software development and a lifelong interest in how technology can solve real problems.
Experience building companies, supporting sales, developing products and helping brands grow.
Leadership and coaching taught me that good technology only works when people understand and trust it.
AI lets me connect these disciplines, move faster and turn complex ideas into working products.

Build logs & lessons
Build logs, practical lessons and observations from working with AI, products and people.
Why I build with AI
AI is not a new hobby. It is the tool that finally connects software, business and people for me.
How I use Claude Code to turn ideas into working products
A practical, phased workflow for going from a rough idea to a testable build without losing control.
Building LAB76: making digital photography feel analogue again
Designing friction on purpose, fictional film stocks, and why the wait is the whole product.
Experience gives AI context
I started in software development, moved into operations, built businesses in online marketing, sales support and furniture, and now lead people in a large customer contact environment. AI brings those experiences together and gives me a new way to build.
