Making AI
yours to own.
I’m Robin. I build open tools, run small systems, and train language models. This is my work, and what I learn along the way.

02 / Field notes
The work behind the work.
A blog should be a folder of files
A small publishing setup built around Markdown, static HTML, and conversations that happen elsewhere.
03 / Research notebook
Experiments. Evidence. Repeat.
The full training logs, architecture decisions, and research postmortems live at Kroonen AI.
How I build
Open where
it matters.
More about my approach - 01
Useful before impressive
Start with a real constraint and ship the smallest system that solves it.
- 02
Ownable by default
Keep important data portable and the self-hosted tools telemetry-free.
- 03
Publish the evidence
Include costs, constraints, failures, and enough detail to reproduce the result.
