Master Computer Science

Graduated from Hasselt University as a Master in Computer Science (Networking & Security and Engineering Interactive Systems) in 2020. My interests span home automation, automations in general and developing web-applications with affinity to both front-end and back-end development.

Alongside my professional projects, I have a ton of projects done in private. Feel free to check them out in the projects section of this website!

Welcome to my website, below you will find an overview of my skillset and experiences. Feel free to roam around and eventually contact me if you desire my services!

Services

System Engineer

Experienced with various system architectures. Windows, Linux and Android have little secrets for me!

Software Development

Need a software solution for your problem? I have worked with various programming languages and paradigms!

Web Applications

Angular, Lumen, CraftCMS... Or just plain HTML, PHP, CSS and JS? I have worked with all of them!

Networking & Security

Defend your application against penetration attacks, SQL injection and many more vulnerabilities!

Interactive Systems

It's the user that interacts with the software, so it has to be made according to their needs!

Internet of Things

Passionated about the future and the possibilities of the internet of things. Automate a process or even your home!

Skills
Coding

Previous experiences and projects have given me the necessary insights to create a suitable web application for you or your company. I am familiar with the building blocks HTML, PHP, CSS and JavaScript ..., but frameworks such as Angular, CraftCMS, Lumen and WordPress also hold few secrets for me.

Projects at the university and for various companies ensure that I can find an efficient solution to a given problem. Programming in C #, C ++, Java, Python ... is like speaking in my native language.

Those small functions that provide just that little bit extra. JavaScripts on a website or a program in C, I am happy to help you.

I have experience with the following programming languages:

  • .NET
  • C
  • C#
  • C++
  • CSS
  • HTML
  • Java
  • JavaScript
  • PHP
  • Prolog
  • Python
  • R
  • Scheme
  • SQL
  • Twig
  • TwinCAT
  • TypeScript
  • VBA

I have already worked with the following frameworks:

  • Android SDK
  • Angular
  • Arduino IDE
  • CraftCMS
  • Laravel
  • Lumen
  • Qt
  • Unity
  • WinForms
  • Wordpress
  • WPF
Engineering Interactive Systems

The smartphone is now indispensable. As a computer scientist it is therefore important to familiarize yourself with the world of Android Development! My expertise and your idea can together form the perfect Android Application.

As a master in Engineering Interactive Systems I am familiar with programming and wiring Arduino's and other microcontrollers. This makes me capable of making and programming custom smart devices.

As mentioned, I am familiar with making IoT devices. However, this is the first step on the way to a Smart Home. My master's thesis was focused on creating a smart home by the user himself. After all, the computer scientist must be able to make life easier for citizens!

My master's thesis consisted of developing a chatbot for the user of a smart home. This chatbot ensures that the automated behavior can be explained. This project may ask questions like "Why did the lamp turn on?" or "When will the heating come on?" answer and will thus clarify the behavior to the user.

My bachelor thesis consisted of creating electrical circuits using AR. This allows novice electricians to test their circuits before realizing them.

The user is central in the development of software. An application must be intuitive and easy to operate. A good software package can only be obtained if there is close cooperation between customer and developer.
Network & Security

Is your network not working properly? This can be due to various problems. I have knowledge of the right tools and techniques to find and solve problems in a network. From static routing to VLANS, we ensure that the network is free from defects.

It has been said that data is the new oil. This means that this data must be properly secured. With the help of firewalls, cryptography and other measures, we ensure that no unwanted guests enter the network.

In an IoT system it is important that the network is prepared for this. After all, there is a lot of communication between the different devices. Optimizing networks to bear this burden is done at software and hardware level. I can ensure that your network is robust and therefore ready for IoT devices.

A network is of course more than visiting a website or communicating between two devices. How does a CDN work? What is Peer-To-Peer? Where is the cloud where our data is located? I have the answers to your questions!
Personal

I am motivated to help you out with all of your IT-related issues. My passion lies in the field of Smart Homes and the Internet of Things. Considering the future, this hot topic appeals to the imagination of many. I want to make that imagination reality along with you!
