About

My name is Paulus Potter from Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I am the founder of Uberlogger. I am an electrical engineer living in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Why did I start the Uberlogger? That story actually started in 2017.

Back then, I wanted to explore more of the world after some years of working as an engineer and wanted to know how people in non-western countries are living and working. I decided to go to Guatemala and after 3 weeks discovered Quetzaltrekkers. This a non-profit hiking organization that gives all its proceedings to a school, called EDELAC (Escuala de la Calle), providing education for the poorest children in the city of Xela. I decided to volunteer there and stayed for 1 year in total.

Helping children in need

I experience the time at Quetzaltrekkers as a turning point in my life. I consider myself to be very fortunate having everything I need and having the ability to do pretty much everything I would like to do. I knew before my trip that not everybody is that lucky, but when I saw children not having parents, proper clothes or sometimes even food, you realize what it means to be grateful for everything you have. For this reason, I decided I wanted to help these children.

The tech side

While I enjoyed volunteering at Quetzaltrekkers a lot, I also like engineering and helping others in general. I found that there’s a demand for the Uberlogger and decided to work on this, with the aim to give 50% of the gross profit of the Uberlogger to EDELAC. I did not do this alone; Bas Vermulst, assistant professor at University of Technology EIndhoven and co-owner of SDR Engineering B.V., designed the hardware and helped with solving different technical difficulties.
