Being passionate about IT and STEM in general for as long as I can remember, I started my education at the Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven, where I got a Bachelor of Applied Informatics in 2013, with a specialisation in software development. Afterwards, I immediately started my career at Faros, developing in Java and Spring as a back-end developer.

In early 2017, though, I decided to shift my focus to front-end development, wanting to be “closer” to the end user and to pick up JavaScript, which was rapidly upcoming in various frameworks. I joined Euricom to participate in their boot camp, which consisted of Angular and .NET Core. Although I never got to explore the latter much, I’ve been going strong with Angular.

At the end of 2018, together with a friend and colleague, I started Appgrade. This new-found company of ours would attract some employees over the years as well.

Apart from the professional side of things, I also like to hike to give my eyes a rest from all the screens, travel and discover other cultures and food, or play music. Truth to be told, it sometimes gets a bit overwhelming to combine all these things ever since I became a father but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
