Hi! I'm a medior frontend with a bachelor's degree in Applied Informatics from KDG. I'm mainly focused on React, but have also worked with Java, NodeJS & PHP before.

My first paid working experience was as a consultant for the Flemish Government. I spent the first year modernizing the Gebruikersbeheer which is the internal authorization panel by converting legacy code into microservices, improving maintainability and scalability.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at React Brussels, which allowed me to connect with many skilled professionals and attend insightful talks and workshops.
During the event, I had my first experience with Astro and learned how to use server components for forms, a feature introduced in React 19.
I also attended sessions on accessibility, AI, and view transitions, gaining valuable insights into modern web development practices.
