My professional career started ten years ago when I graduated from the university of Ghent (Belgium) with a masters degree in computer science. During my eduction I've always had a strong focus on software development.
Thus I started working as a technical consultant and gained experience as a software engineer in several large scale applications. My technical expertise was greatly appreciated. Part of my job description became guiding and training others where needed.
After a set of successful projects, I've received the opportunity to become a solution architect. With this change I've become more focused on how systems work together to fulfil a set of functionality instead of designing for one system in particular.
Teaching and supporting others in doing their job has always been a big part of my life. Therefore I possess the necessary skills to help others learn and focus on what's important.
