Experience
Spatie (2026–now)
Back-end Developer
If there’s one company in Belgium that I was interested in joining even after starting my own business, it could only have been this one. Given Spatie’s stellar reputation for open source projects, it seemed like the kind of company I would enjoy working at.
I joined Spatie’s team part-time as a back-end developer in June 2026. As part of the team, I currently work on client projects, and in the future I will also be assisting on open source projects.
I cannot share details about projects I am currently working on that aren’t open source for obvious reasons. As such, my projects section will not mention anything proprietary I’m working on for some time.
Mylonia (2025–now)
Founder
After a decade of agency work and a brief bout with burnout, I decided that it was time to be my own boss. After all, since my career began I’ve learned the valuable skills I need to help people with their software projects.
If you are in need of my services, please get in touch. While I am not taking on big projects, I may still be available for smaller projects in my spare time.
Mylonia is the name of my sole proprietorship, but I consider the name and website to (mostly) be a legal formality, as most of my customers get in touch because they know me by name because they’ve seen something I’ve built or helped work on. If you are an individual or company in need of my expertise, please message me via the email address above.
DIVE bv (2018–2025)
Software Developer
At the very start of 2018, the founders of Underlined and YungPanda formed a new company, DIVE. I worked full-time as a developer on projects for DIVE until 2025.
I spent most of my time working with Laravel applications, APIs, and building native apps for iOS and iPadOS in both Swift and Objective-C (sometimes a legacy project requires updates). I’ve worked on a few Catalyst apps as well.
I also helped maintain the latest version of Kana Master whenever it needed to be updated. You can find a list of projects I worked on here.
Since many of the projects I worked on for DIVE were proprietary in nature, I cannot openly share details about their specific functionality, but I have done my best to be as transparent as possible.
Underlined (2014–2017)
Software Developer
In 2014, I started working at Underlined. I worked on various projects including Ginto and Kana Master, two apps for iOS. I also worked on a variety of B2B applications and back-end systems, APIs, and more.
Since many of these B2B projects I worked on were proprietary and internal in nature, I cannot openly share details about their specific functionality.
Open Knowledge Foundation Belgium & iRail (2014)
OSS Internship
As an intern for OKFN Belgium, I helped work on the new iRail hypermedia API as well as other tasks like maintaining and developing the #oSoc14 website. The updated version of iRail launched on June 5, 2014, with an overhaul of the front-end and additions to the backend.
This original version of iRail has been iterated and improved upon by other students at subsequent Open Summer of Code editions. It’s interesting to look back at some of this work. Not many people were talking about hypermedia and JSON-LD at the time. Now, these things have definitely become more standardized and are not unusual to find on websites for semantic data purposes.
Open Summer of Code (2013)
Summer Fellowship
During the summer of 2013, I was one of the students selected for the 2013 edition of open Summer of Code. This 3-week long programming summer job was a great way for me to get acquainted with the world of open source and open data.
This summer job eventually led me on a path to an internship for the Open Knowledge Foundation here in Belgium. Normally, this summer job was only for graduating third years. As a second year, I was recommended by one of the teachers, which allowed me to join the group as a bit of an exception.
Higher Education
Artevelde University of Applied Sciences Ghent (2011–2014)
I earned my bachelor’s degree and graduated at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences Ghent in 2014 as a Bachelor in the Graphic & Digital Media, proDEV. I learned web development (front-end and back-end) there, along with various design fundamentals and some other skills related to digital media production.
There was a focus on design fundamentals during my first year at the University. This focus became less important as my chosen specialisation ended up being development-oriented, but delivering aesthetically pleasing results was still key during my time here. During my time at the University, it was sometimes called University College but nowadays, the proper translation is University of Applied Sciences.
