Who I am
Self-taught by nature and holder of a master’s degree, I like to understand a system all the way through before changing it.
I learned the job as a work-study developer at Arcad Software, on a document anonymisation tool, and as a freelancer building online shops.
Away from code, I enjoy competitive games as well as solo RPGs such as The Witcher 3 or Expedition 33. When time allows, I hike, preferably somewhere I have never been.
How I work with AI
- 01SpecifyA written spec first: CLAUDE.md, architecture decisions, acceptance criteria.
- 02DelegateWell-scoped tasks handed to agents (Claude Code, MCP tools), one at a time.
- 03VerifyTests, a review of every change, and an architecture that makes mistakes visible.

I like explaining what I learn
I have always enjoyed teaching. In the second year of my master's at ESGI, I had the chance to build an entire course on software architecture, producing videos, quizzes and hands-on exercises.
My training materials are not public.
