Summary

Dynamic Freelance Software Developer with a proven track record at Nicholas Kelly, enhancing software efficiency through expert debugging and modernizing codebases. Skilled in .NET development, IoT integration, and machine learning, I develop intelligent solutions that streamline business operations—from real-time order tracking and automated invoicing systems to predictive environmental monitoring platforms.

Currently completing my third year of a Bachelor’s in Computing at Belgium Campus iTversity, where I’ve served as a two-time Head of Events and now as Vice President of the Student Representative Council (SRC). These roles have honed my leadership, team management, and event execution skills, all while balancing academic and technical growth.

In parallel, I’ve gained valuable work experience as a bar manager at high-end events and a factory manager at Leo Tiles, developing strong operational and interpersonal skills. I bring a collaborative mindset, a passion for solving real-world problems, and a commitment to delivering impactful, user-focused software solutions.
