Hi, my name is Jasper and I'm an 18-year-old computer science student at KU Leuven in Belgium!
My goal is to make qualitative open-source software and practical solutions for real-world problems.
Most of my projects start with a problem I’ve experienced myself or a tool I wish existed in my own life.
Programming is one of my favorite hobbies and it's my dream to make it my job.
My first name is Jasper. I live in Flanders (🇧🇪 Belgium) and my native language is Dutch.
I speak English fluently, and I know a little French.
I love to DJ and work with music/stage lightning and to combine this with my programming-skills.
In the summer I touch a lot of 🌱🌱 grass 🌱🌱 because I'm volunteer and camp monitor at Kazou Limburg
My introduction to programming was as a kid in 2018, using Swift Playground on the iPad. A few months later, I discovered AppleScript, which really got me interested in coding. I could automate things on my computer and even make some “fake” viruses just for fun.
About two years later, I discovered Discord bots and started creating them with BotGhost.
I quickly ran into its limitations and switched to building custom bots using discord.js.
This was also when I started learning JavaScript and got into programming my first few projects.
Between 2020 and 2022, I created over 40+ custom Discord bots for different servers, while learning concepts like databases, web development and more!
One of those projects was a small ticket bot that I eventually decided to publish on Github. This project became Open Ticket, which has grown into one of the most advanced and customisable open-source Discord ticket bots ever created! Funny enough, its popularity was never really planned. In the beginning, Open Ticket was quite basic, had plenty of bugs, and wasn't nearly as customisable as it is today. Still, I kept working on it, adding new features and improving it over time. Eventually, it grew into the project it is today.
Since 2023, I've also been working on several side projects including: Math Master the calculator bot, some NPM Packages like Discord Alt Detector, Formatted Json Stringify and my dream project LiveControl, a DMX lighting control system for DJs. Working on these projects has helped me learn new languages and technologies, including HTML, PHP, TypeScript, CSS, Lua, Python, GDScript, Electron, SQL, ...
In 2025-2026, I started focussing on larger projects and major updates including Open Ticket 4.0, LiveControl v2 and TeamPlayer a sports club management system.
Whenever I get new ideas I still experiment with some smaller projects and tools.
Looking ahead to 2027, I plan to keep maintaining Open Ticket, work on new plugins and try to launch HTML Transcripts v3. I will also continue to develop LiveControl v2 and TeamPlayer. I might also release some new npm packages along the way.
My long-term goal is to create Open Moderation, a Discord moderation bot with the same level of customisation and flexibility as Open Ticket.
The most advanced self-hosted discord ticket bot with HTML transcripts,
plugins, questions, claiming, statistics, pterodactyl/docker support & more!
Open Ticket has been built in such a way that it has next-level support for plugins!
That's why we've built a collection of awesome plugins to supercharge Open Ticket.
Discord Alt Detector is a tiny npm package to catch Discord Alt Accounts based on several parameters in their profile and behaviour. It checks for username patterns, profile pictures, badges, their status and more!
Formatted Json Stringify is a small npm package which allows you use an advanced & customisable version of the JSON.stringify()!
A lightweight and customizable logging library for Node.js based on the log system of Open Ticket.
It features beautiful logs with configurable colors, prefixes and a debugfile for permanent logs.
An easy-to-use and feature-rich Node.js package for interacting with one or multiple Apc Mini's (Mk2) from Akai Professional. Perfect for scripts, Electron apps, automation, smart home, music production, games, event lightning, ...
A simple self-hosted calculator bot for discord.
This project was made to test the new Discord interaction buttons.
A mod for Factorio to limit trains to a certain speed within a signal block.
Pretty useful if you respawn a lot because of crossing rails.
A mod for Factorio which adds turrets, big power poles, substations and combinators to the upgrade planner.
Real-time lightning software for DJ's with the ability to control DMX-powered lights. Just plug & play, no configuration required. Perfect for music-synced lightning! (Private Project)
User management software for sportclubs. Only available for known and registered sportclubs in Belgium.
In 2019 I founded DJdj Development, it's my "fictional" organisation for all my projects. DJdj Development is primarily known for creating qualitative open-source Discord bots and NPM packages for bot developers. You're always welcome to join our Discord Server to talk about everything!
