About me

Engineer for serious systems

I work where infrastructure, security, and messy real-world constraints meet: automation, operations, data, and dependable delivery.

Industries & Expertise

Hands-on technical work in regulated, high-pressure, and research-oriented environments.

Medical

Experience in medical academia and data, with a focus on context-aware IT solutions that support research and actionable outcomes.

Pharmaceutical

Process automation, deployment automation, and IT orchestration in demanding GMP environments.

Law Enforcement (BE)

Systems and network administration experience for the Belgian Police, where precision and reliability matter every day.

Certifications & Training

Credentials and focused training that support the security, infrastructure, and automation work I do in production environments.

Current focus

Network foundations, security operations, and detection engineering.

The mix is intentionally practical: the networking base to understand traffic, SOAR training to automate response, and detection engineering to turn signals into useful alerts.
