ABOUT ME
I'm a Fullstack engineer who starts with the friction, not the code.
I started in 2020 at Vox Teneo, a Brussels agency, building digital products for the Volkswagen group. In 2021 I joined Decathlon Belgium as a fullstack engineer, and I now lead the team behind C2C, the expert brand sites and the event platform. I work across the stack in TypeScript, and I like to understand the user need and the product friction before writing a line of code.
