Profile
Technical Lead with 6+ years in data, cloud and ML engineering, now setting the technical direction for the central data & information platform at Fluvius — the distribution grid operator behind Flanders' energy transition. I design the governance, data contracts and semantic foundations that let decentralized domain teams ship data products safely at scale, and I am actively shaping how autonomous agents and LLMs fit into that architecture. Promoted three times in four years, from hands-on cloud data engineer to the architect and lead of the platform's enablement team.
