I'm a Software Engineer with industry experience in designing and implementing complex applications and systems, mostly where it's not visible to users - at the backend. I'm a self-taught developer and a hands-on learner, constantly working towards expanding my knowledge further. I contribute to several open source projects, my main focus being sttp (where you can see my contributions on the project's Github). I appreciate the exchange of technical know-how - which is expressed by my various publications found on Medium and DZone, and appearances at top tech conferences and meetups, including Devoxx Belgium. I enjoy exploring topics that combine software engineering and mathematics. In my free time, I like to read a good book.
