Developer for nearly a decade.
Now
Investigating where AI belongs in a disciplined development workflow — and what it takes to keep the work fast, predictable, and trustworthy.
Work
-
Fullstack Developer, Lawcloud 2024 – present
A practice-management SaaS for lawyers and accountants. I build the integrations — recently AI transcription (Fonzer), AI agents (Nexa), and Peppol e-invoicing — and help keep the rest of the codebase stable and pleasant to use.
-
PHP Developer, Stellar 2022 – 2024
A SaaS for brands to track ad campaigns across Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter — following how views actually converted into transactions. On the PHP/Symfony side, I modernized the codebase toward current API Platform standards and built a sentiment-analysis feature with the data team.
-
Back-end Developer, Smals 2020 – 2022
The Belgian public sector's tech arm — websites and data systems for agencies like ONEM, Fedris, ONSS, and eHealth. I worked on building onem.be from scratch on Smals' Symfony CMS.
Stack
PHP and Symfony at the core, with Doctrine and MariaDB. PHPUnit, PHPStan, PHP-CS, and Xdebug keep the code honest; production runs on AWS with S3. PhpStorm on Fedora, Git on GitLab — plus enough HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to handle the front-end when needed.
Education
B.Sc. Computer Science, EPFC — 2017–2020.
Languages
French (mother tongue), English (fluent), Dutch (conversational).
