About

I am a medior software engineer at Klarrio. I graduated as master student in Computer Science and was a member (ex-president) of Infogroep at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). My work is also my hobby, as I very much enjoy programming, mostly webapps, as well as learning new and peculiar programming paradigms. I also have a keen interest in working out, cooking spicy meals and Dungeon Mastering.
