I am currently living in Brussels and frequent Ghent. I am always happy to meet and discuss whatever you might have in mind!
...who am I outside of my studies and work?
I am passionate about using technology as a tool for social transformation. I work on projects with social impact, seeking solutions that empower individuals and promote personal digital autonomy. Occassionally, I share things on social media, happily attend miscellaneous events, and work on interesting projects.
...what is my approach to software?
I have always been deeply interested in the intersection of the technical, political, and social aspects of Free Software.
My approach to software development is deeply shaped by my interest in decentralized and federated systems, which I believe are essential for building a fairer and more sustainable technological ecosystem.
...the first street i grew up on?
Nice try, but you'll need to step it up a notch.latest articles
