I have gained my high school diploma in the education of sciences and natural languages
I have an academic bachelor in computer science, covering the basics of computational theory, related mathematics, algorithms and data structures, language design, A.I., and web technologies
I finished my masters of Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, which took two years. I followed the software engineering specialisation at the Software Languages Lab (SOFT). This specialisation covers the programming languages, development tools and abstraction & composition mechanisms that are needed for building large-scale applications. More details can be found here: https://www.vub.be/en/computer-science-specialisations#software-languages-&-software-engineering
I am currently a member of the Infogroep at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, a student club for computer scientist that organises lectures and seminars on computer science related topics, as well as large events such as a job fair, a LAN-party, and a "capture-the-flag" cybersecurity challenge. I have been president of the club during the 2020-2021 academic year in which I was in charge of contacting companies for organising joint ventures and representing the club to the Informatics department and the university as a whole. Infogroep also has internal projects, some of which I was in charge for. One of the projects included a cash desk and bookkeeping system written in React and Python (later Ruby on Rails). Furthermore, I have co-organised our yearly Capture the Flag for which I created several challenges.
As a student job during my last year of studies, I worked at a psychological institute as an IT assistant. My job was to operate the infrastructure of the business; working with their webtools and testing its new version, managing their database, and giving general guidance. I worked for them for five months.
My first real job is at Klarrio in Antwerp, where I work as a junior software engineer working with a multitude of undisclosed techonologies.
