I was born on the 9th of march 1991 and I noticed very quickly that computers have always fascinated me. I started building my first website around the age of 10. It was a photo sharing website where I gathered pictures of me and my classmates at the time. At the age of 11, I started to investigate how I could upload pictures more easily. So I started learning PHP and soon I had made my first dynamic website. I was so happy about it, that I knew "This is my future".
After finishing highschool, I applied for Software engineering at Karel de Grote college in Antwerp. In the meantime I was already developing applications and websites for customers so I could have more experience when I would graduate. At the end of the second year, I made Snippetry with Geoffrey De Vylder and Niels Van Vliet. A website where users can easily create tutorials in the form of blocks.
When I graduated, I started working at Vasco Data Security. A security company specialised in two-factor authentication. I started as a QA-engineer, but after a year I changed internally to be a software engineer working on the MYDIGIPASS platform.
I'm currently working as a Ruby (rails) software engineer in combination with Jruby and Java. I have experience in Android development and worked with Python and PHP before. I don't have a real preference of favorite type of programming language, as I believe the language is just the tool to get to the endgoal. I enjoy working on the look of applications as well as solving complex problems in the backend of applications.
In my spare time I like to work on my own pet projects and to contribute on StackOverflow and Github. I also enjoy traveling, playing the guitar and running.
A updated design for my personal website that reflects my current life and work.
A static website compiler that I created for Windows in C#. One of the requirements was that I don't need any other dependencies then the portable exe file.
A news aggregator app for Android that integrates different newspapers to report on financial and stock news.

LogoManager is a platform for speech therapists where they can plan their appointments and manage their finances.
The MYDIGIPASS app contains a mechanism to authenticate users safely directly from within their browser. The same mechanism can also be used to authenticate users from within other apps. I was part of the Android team that integrated this feature.
MYDIGIPASS protects your online accounts by adding an additional security layer to stop hackers who want to steal your identity and credentials. I'm currently a developer on this ruby on rails team.
