Hi, my name is
About Me
I am a developer with passion for DevOps and an interest in Cloud engineering. I have a background in web development, which I learned in university when I studied at KU Leuven.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with:
- Kubernetes
- Java
- AEM
- Spring Boot
- AWS
- Jenkins
- Golang
- Docker
- ArgoCD
- FluxCD
- Terraform
- Ansible
Experience
I am currently working as AEM Developer / DevOps engineer for Amexio
Projects:
- Mediafin: AEM/DevOps consultant to maintain the site
- KBC: Technical lead of the websites platform team
I am currently working as a DevOps and cloud engineer for ACA.
In my first paid position I started as an AEM developer in the Acolad team at KBC.
We were responsible for the development of all components needed for the different KBC websites.
Next to ‘regular’ AEM development I also started working with Kubernetes and microservices as well as some DevOps work.
Formula Electric Belgium is a student team which designs and builds an electric racecar in one year.
As head of electronics I was responsible for the workings of the entire electronics team. We designed our own high-voltage battery, control unit, telemetry and data system.
