Career

I got my hands on a computer at 12 and never looked back. What started with a VIC-20 and Sinclair Spectrum became a career spanning infrastructure, data, and software engineering across three decades.

I hold a Professional Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems from Erasmushogeschool Brussels. My internship at CANAC (air traffic control) was completed with honours — I wrote algorithms in C that optimized flight plan routing for approach procedures.

Since then, I've worked across seven countries, building everything from datacenter automation stacks to real-time fleet monitoring systems to AI-powered search tools. The through-line is always the same: understanding systems deeply enough to make them better.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of data engineering, AI, and software architecture. My infrastructure background gives me a unique perspective on building AI systems that work in production — not just in notebooks.
