About Me

I wrote my first line of code in the late 90s. Back then, it was static HTML and the occasional Java applet. Almost 30 years later, I'm still at it — though the stack has gotten considerably better.

I'm a freelance full stack developer based in Belgium. Since going independent in 2013, I've spent most of my time in the space where enterprise backends meet modern frontends — building web portals for government organizations and large companies, where the architecture needs to be solid but the user experience still needs to feel effortless.

The stack

My backend roots run deep in Java and Spring Framework — APIs, system integrations, the kind of architecture that handles real-world complexity without falling over. On the frontend, I've gone all in on Nuxt and Vue.js. The developer experience is unmatched, and the results speak for themselves.

What I enjoy most is the translation layer between these two worlds. Making a complex enterprise system feel simple on the surface — that's the puzzle I keep coming back to.

Open source

I created WPNuxt, a Nuxt module for using WordPress as a headless CMS. It connects via GraphQL and gives content teams the WordPress editor they already know, while developers get a Nuxt frontend they actually want to work with. It started as a scratching-my-own-itch project and turned into something other people rely on.

I also build smaller things — audio visualization components, creative coding experiments — mostly because I can't help myself.

The other side

There's a whole part of my life that has nothing to do with code. I'm a sound healing practitioner, an ecstatic dance DJ, and a trance dance facilitator. I run Harmonics.be — organizing events around sound, music, and movement.

It might seem like a strange combination, but there's a thread that connects it all: I like building experiences. Whether it's a web application that just works, or a sound journey that takes people somewhere unexpected — the craft is in making the complex feel natural.

I travel whenever I can, always looking for how different cultures approach rhythm, movement, and community. It feeds everything I do.

Let's talk

I'm currently available for new projects. If you need someone who can work across the full stack — or if you just want to geek out about Nuxt — schedule a call or find me on LinkedIn.
