What I do
Software built, shipped, or rescued. Discovery → design → delivery with one engineer deeply involved across the whole arc.

Software, built
and shipped.
Web and mobile work delivered end-to-end by one operator — a decade of hand-written code and five years of enterprise delivery behind it.
The operator
Hand-coded for a decade
before AI was a thing.
I started writing production code in 2014 — long before “vibe coding” was a term and most of the LLM-assisted tooling existed. The first decade was hands-on engineering: backend services, web applications, the messier stretch in between.
For five of those years I worked at Smals— one of Belgium's largest IT firms — as a functional analyst, project leader, and Scrum Master. The work was equal parts shipping software and translating between stakeholders, engineers, and product. Going solo carries that operator instinct into smaller, sharper teams.
AI-assisted tooling now lives inside that workflow — used as a force multiplier on top of the engineering discipline, not as a substitute for it.

Outside the studio
Long horizons, repeatable inputs.
Fifteen years of lifting. Six of active and passive investing.
Both reward the same discipline that ships software — long horizons, repeatable inputs, no shortcuts. The studio runs the same way.
