About Me
I build robust web solutions from backend to frontend — bridging enterprise Java with modern JavaScript, and now embracing agentic workflows.
Loving every bit of it!
As a full stack developer with 25+ years of experience, I've gone from the first static HTML sites to cutting-edge web portals with seamless backend integrations. I combine deep Java/Spring expertise with a passion for modern frontend development using Nuxt and Vue. Creator of WPNuxt, an open source module for headless WordPress with Nuxt.
I'm also a sound healing practitioner, an ecstatic dance DJ, and a trance dance facilitator. I run Harmonics.be — organizing events around sound, music, and movement.
I'm based in Belgium (Europe/Brussels timezone) and work primarily remotely, for Belgian and international clients alike.
