MCHLBLLN · Automation systems · Belgium

One engineer. A fleet of agents.

I'm Michiel Bellen. I build AI automation, custom web platforms and Cardano systems — engineered so a one-person company can outproduce a department.

Systems

What I actually build

Four systems, one operator. Each is something I have shipped and maintain — not a service page written to fill a grid.

SYS-01

AI automation & agents

Multi-agent systems that do real work — research, generate, deploy, invoice, report — instead of demoing well. Built on Claude, local Ollama models and Python, with typed contracts between agents so nothing quietly drifts.

  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Hybrid cloud + local LLM routing
  • Document & data extraction
  • Back-office workflow automation
SYS-02

Web platforms

Laravel and Filament applications with real authentication, admin, booking and content management from day one. Not a template with your logo dropped on it — a product your business runs on.

  • Laravel 10 + Filament 3
  • Booking & scheduling
  • Trilingual NL / FR / EN
  • Admin panels you can actually use
SYS-03

Cardano & verifiable data

On-chain credentials, native tokens and wallet integrations on Cardano. Open Badges that stay verifiable even if the issuing institution stops existing.

  • Open Badges on-chain
  • Native tokens & metadata (CIP-25/68)
  • Wallet integration
  • Smart contract integration
SYS-04

Digitisation

Paper, spreadsheets and copy-paste handoffs turned into systems that run themselves. Usually the highest-return thing a Belgian SMB can do, and the least glamorous.

  • Process mapping
  • Legacy data migration
  • Integrations (Zoho, API, exports)
  • Reporting that gets read

The fleet

Seven agents, one operator

MCHLBLLN runs on an orchestrator I built to replace the parts of an agency that scale badly. It finds the work, builds it, ships it, bills it and reports on it. Select a unit for its briefing.

Online
A-01

Analyzer

Role · Reconnaissance

Crawls a target business and extracts a structured briefing — services, audience, language, brand assets, booking tooling — then scores exactly where the current site is losing customers.

Output

A typed Briefing — services, audience, language, brand assets, and a weakness score.

1870 OpenBadge

Cardano Open Badges Credentials

Verifiable digital credentials issued on Cardano. Open Badge compliant, cryptographically checkable, and still valid in ten years whether or not the issuing institution is.

MCHLBLLN Factory

Python Claude Ollama Multi-agent

The seven-agent orchestrator behind this page. Finds Belgian SMBs with failing websites, builds each a bespoke replacement, deploys it to a preview domain, and runs the back office.

Internal
PRJ-003 2026

SMB platform

Laravel Filament MySQL

What the factory ships: a Laravel and Filament application per customer — booking, team, services, opening hours, reviews, real admin — with a visual identity built for that business alone.

Cardano Foundation

Cardano Java Infrastructure

Engineering in the Cardano ecosystem: infrastructure, tooling and open-source contributions around the protocol.

JARVIS

Home lab LLM Voice

A home lab assistant — local models, voice, calendar and a wall tablet. Where everything gets broken first, before a customer ever sees it.

Approach

How a project runs

Four phases. No discovery theatre, no twelve-week silence.

  1. 01

    Recon

    A call and a hard look at what you have. I map the process, find where the money leaks, and tell you plainly if automation is the wrong answer for you.

  2. 02

    Blueprint

    A fixed-scope plan: what gets built, what it costs, and what it deliberately will not do. You approve a document, not a feeling.

  3. 03

    Fabricate

    I build it in the open. You get a live preview URL in the first week and watch it fill in — no reveal at the end, no surprises.

  4. 04

    Deploy & maintain

    Live on your domain, monitored, backed up and maintained on a monthly fee — or handed over with the keys and the documentation. Your call, not mine.

The human in the loop

I'm Michiel — a Belgian engineer who has been shipping software for over a decade in PHP, JavaScript and Python. MCHLBLLN is my name with the vowels taken out, and it is a one-person company on purpose.

I hit the ceiling every good freelancer hits: the work is only ever as big as the hours. The standard answer is to hire. I went the other way and built a fleet of agents that handles research, build, deployment, billing and reporting — so the quality bar stays mine and the throughput stops being my problem.

The rest of the time I'm in the Cardano ecosystem building verifiable-credential tooling, or in the home lab teaching a local model to run my house.
