Omschrijving

CTO & Engineering Leader with 20+ years building data and software systems from low-level infrastructure to product.

I believe great engineering teams move fast by being right about what to build — challenging requirements early, owning delivery end-to-end, and continuously raising the bar on skills and tooling.

I actively drive AI adoption as a force multiplier for engineering productivity, from agentic coding workflows to responsible deployment with a focus on safety and reliability.

Currently leading the technical vision at GeoPostcodes, a Belgian location data company specialising in location and geospatial data for enterprise clients.
