Introduction & Background

I am a Senior Software Engineer living In Belgium and working at Capgemini Engineering, having previously spent over 18 years as a Software Engineer at Devoteam, GFI Informatique (now Inetum), Atos, and AubayPromotic which gave me good experience either working in a team of up to 100 persons or alone and directly with a product owner or final users.

I am hungry for learning, and self-improvement and always willing to accept constructive criticism, I can work as both a self-guided team member and project team leader. I enjoy creating great products with great user experiences and working in a dynamic environment focusing on good development practices, automation, and shipping small, frequent releases.

Additional Information

JVM: I am experienced in a variety of Java API’s and frameworks. I have recently worked with Spring, JPA (Hibernate) in addition to others.

Web Development: My server side web development experience has largely been based on the Ruby on Rails and Spring MVC frameworks. But I'm doing my best to learn more Elixir and Phoenix. I have also worked with some client side technology, having used Ember JS, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Foundation, LESS, SASS and have also experimented with other technologies such as Angular, Backbone, CoffeeScript.

Development Control: I have a good knowledge of application life-cycle management and have worked with GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, CVS, SVN, Maven, Sonar, Jira and Jenkins. I have experience with lots of testing tools and technologies.

I have also gained experience and knowledge from several side projects and research that I have undertaken in my free time, including Amazon S3, PayPal.

I created, and am now primary contributor to a Rails quiz application for students in medicine: UMed, which provides integration with PayPal API and Amazon S3.
