About
I'm a Belgian frontend developer and photographer specializing in building exceptional digital experiences. With extensive experience in software development and design skills using Adobe tools, I create performant, accessible, and visually stunning web applications that balance technical excellence with thoughtful user experience.
My expertise spans full-stack development, with a particular focus on modern web technologies like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I'm passionate about UX design and believe that great design plays a crucial role in how we interact with technology on a daily basis.
I've earned certifications in AI and Machine Learning, including 'AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations' and 'Claude Code in Action' from Anthropic Education, demonstrating my commitment to staying current with emerging technologies.
Photography has been my creative outlet since childhood, starting with analog cameras. This artistic background influences my approach to design and helps me create more intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces.
As a soon to be freelance developer, I work with clients worldwide, delivering high-quality solutions that combine technical expertise with creative problem-solving. If you're interested in working together, let's discuss your project and see how I can help bring your ideas to life.
