Where code
meets creativity
Grachtwerk is the studio of Arthur Baars, a creative developer in Utrecht transforming ideas into engaging software, websites and games.
01 / About
Hi, I'm Arthur
I'm a creative developer from Utrecht balancing creativity and technical precision. With a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Game & Media Technology from Utrecht University, plus years as a professional software engineer, I turn ambitious ideas into software that actually ships.
I like explaining the ideas behind my code: no black boxes. Sharing knowledge makes for stronger projects, and for clients who understand exactly what they own.
02 / Selected work
Projects that push the browser
Immersive narratives, WebAssembly audio and location-based games: a selection of what leaves the studio.
