Principal Engineer
iChoosr
At iChoosr I had an amazing time bringing the New Horizons platform live and scaling it up. I learned to really appreciate the highly rewarding, fast-paced start-up environment, got familiar with Azure. As a principal engineer, I had the chance to steer the platform in its final iteration and draw the first lines for its successor.2020-04 - 2022-12
Technical Lead

Was selected as Technical Lead representing the Belgium team. Together with the Dutch and Polish ones we gathered periodically to tackle overarching problems that became apparent now the software was slowly maturing. We extracted satellite APIs based on the same domains as the team structure was set up. We extended the platform with another UI and set up various integrations with our external suppliers and communities.2018-11 - 2020-04

Helped building out the new platform in an international team. In a team of full stack developers we all were dispersed amongst our business users and support employees to discover the right features and bring them forward for analysis, planning, development and finally deployment. We created a central monolithic API and used it for the three different frontends for various user groups both internal and external.2013-12 - 2018-11
