About

I graduated as a Computer & Cyber Crime Professional, a bachelors degree in the Applied Computer Sciences, from the Howest University in Bruges (Belgium).
When I'm not at the office (or working from home), I like to help friends and family should they come across any problems. IT related or otherwise. I hooked up some of them with a brand-new, self-build (gaming)computer for example. And I won't even start about how many times I had to "fix" their wi-fi printer.

IT Infrastructure & Development.

Currently employed at a Belgian company called Crefius, as a member of their IT Infrastructure team. Our job is to keep all the hardware, software and services running, as well as making life easier for the other teams by creating and maintaining helpful support tools.

In my personal life I love watching (sci-fi & fantasy) movies, series and anime, I play video games like it's my life, I have a Golden Retriever named Shadow, my favourite music genre is metal, I play Dungeons & Dragons with my friends, my favorite food is pizza, and I am allergic to the tussock of grass.

The last couple of years I've also started creating, and wearing, cosplay of some of my favourite characters, along with some friends. Pictures of our creations will be available in the future.
