Where ideas meet
real-world chaos.
IOup is a personal umbrella for side projects and experiments. It's where I explore ideas at the intersection of my different interests and the real-world workflows that are usually more chaotic than software and technology assumes.
It's also a space where I involve my kids, so they can learn how the digital world actually works by building things themselves.
