Based in Brussels. Background in enterprise IT infrastructure (networking, orchestration, datacenter).
In my free time I build things at the intersection of AI, automation, and Web3 — not demos, but systems running on real hardware with real money on the line. I document what works, what breaks, and what I'd do differently.
