About

The interesting part is never the model or the interface.

I'm a full-stack engineer focused on AI-driven products. I build production systems end to end, React and TypeScript front-ends, Node.js and C#/.NET back-ends, with LLM-powered features and automation running on Docker and AWS.

I'm finishing a Bachelor in Applied Computer Science at Hogeschool Gent on a shortened track, expected 2027, while running freelance and product work alongside it. Most recently I worked on a multi-tenant AI-SaaS marketing platform from scratch and cut full client onboarding from a work-week to 30 minutes on contract.

I also co-founded Conkoda, a B2B digital agency, where I independently designed and built Atlas: a modular business-management system for SMEs with applied AI that reads live operations, surfaces what matters and can carry out real work. Outside of that I'm president of vzw Flux, a 100+ member student association, running it and dealing with budgeting, planning and more.
