About Me
I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Leuven with a core specialization in Java back-end engineering. Over 7+ years at AXA Belgium, I've led development on enterprise systems handling financial document processing, AWS communication pipelines, and internal tooling.
I care about clean architecture, well-documented APIs, and interfaces that don't make people think. I work with AI-augmented development tools — using Kiro and GitHub Copilot for spec-driven development, and leveraging AI for deep research to maximize the quality of every feature I ship.
This portfolio itself was built combining my front-end skills with AI assistance — a reflection of how I work: human creativity guided by intelligent tooling.
