About me

I am a technical consultant and full-stack software developer. My passion is designing and building software solutions, mainly with C# and .NET. I am fascinated by software architecture, clean code, and software craftsmanship.

During my experiences, I was often described as an enthusiastic, spontaneous and social person, that values open communication and humor. My inquisitiveness and eagerness to learn often lead to fruitful discussions within the team, as I like to continuously improve.

I thrive in small, close agile teams with people that share my passion for software product development. It’s very important to me to be able to cooperate on the technical and architectural decisions together as a team, and I am very committed to outstanding code quality and a well thought-out technical architecture. User feedback is important to me, as it helps to iterate quickly and really deliver tangible value to the client ánd their customers.

I am very passionate about knowledge sharing. I’m a public speaker with the ambition to present interesting topics at a wide range of conferences, tech meetups, or other international stages. Technical coaching could also be a great way of sharing knowledge, and is therefore also on my radar of things to explore. At AE, I am often involved with organizing events and meetups in the knowledge sharing space, both for internal employees as for students.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Applied Information Technology at Ghent University College in 2021. my international internship in Munich taught me a lot about software engineering for the frontend. In close collaboration with my mentor, I wrote my thesis about the microfrontend architecture pattern and building scalable modular frontend applications with Blazor. Next to that, I wrote some technical blogposts that were well-received in the broader developer community.

In my free time, I likes to cook, meet with friends, and also picked up the hobby of playing and collecting board games. As far as sports go, I like to play racket sports and I’m an avid skier. I also enjoy music; whether that be listening to it, going to see it live, or playing it myself.
