Personal side

The part of me that shapes how I work

The way I work is shaped just as much by what matters to me away from a laptop. Discipline, connection and a strong sense of belonging are a big part of how I think, how I show up and what I want to keep building on.

Personal side

What matters to me outside the screen

A big part of my life is staying active. Running, fitness and judo all appeal to me for the same reason: they require discipline, consistency and the willingness to keep improving over time.

Just as important are the people around me. Spending time with friends and family keeps me grounded and reminds me that growth is not only about performance, but also about connection, balance and enjoying the process.

I also carry a strong sense of community with me through my Chiro background. It taught me a lot about responsibility, collaboration and being part of something bigger than yourself.

People and curiosity

Our yearly Weekend in Bastogne

Every year, I visit Bastogne with friends for our annual weekend. What started as a simple trip has become a meaningful tradition, combining strong friendships with our shared interest in history.

What I like most is that it never feels like just another trip. We enjoy visiting historical places, taking in the stories behind them and making time for the Bastogne walk during NUTS Weekend each year.

That mix of curiosity, reflection and shared experience says a lot about me. I like moments where people come together around something real, where history is not abstract but something you can actually walk through and experience.

Timeline

A few milestones that shaped my path

This section is built to tell the story behind the work. Each point can hold a moment, a decision or a project, and some milestones can include a photo when that helps make the story feel more real.

2014 — 2019

First technical foundation

My interest in technology started through technical education, where I built a strong foundation in both mechanics and electrical systems.

Between 2014 and 2016, I studied Mechanical Production Techniques, focusing on metal processing and CNC. From 2017 to 2019, I continued in Automotive Technology, combining mechanics, electricity and vehicle systems.

2021

First experience in industry

I worked as an operator at Panasonic, where I was responsible for keeping production processes running and resolving small technical issues.

This role strengthened my problem-solving skills and interest in technology.

2022-2024

Technician at Duracell

I worked as a Technician at Duracell, where I was responsible for maintaining and optimizing production lines to ensure smooth and efficient operations.

My role included technical maintenance, resolving issues, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives. During this time, I was also part of the internal emergency response team, strengthening my sense of responsibility and teamwork.

2024-present

Moving into development

Driven by a growing interest in IT, I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Application Development & AI, marking a new direction in my journey.

It turned out to be a decision I am truly grateful for, as it allowed me to combine my technical background with problem-solving in a more creative and digital way.
