About Me

I'm a Belgian software developer living in Norway. With a Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science, specialized in Application Development, I have experience in both backend and frontend development.

From a young age, I've been passionate about creating interactive experiences. Developing (web) apps is something I truly enjoy.

I'm currently looking for an opportunity in Oslo where I can further develop my skills and grow as a developer.

Bachelor in Applied Computer Science

Part of my bachelor's thesis involved developing an application for VITO to detect Cyperus rotundus using drone images and visualize the data on a heatmap.
