Project history
Managed an Agile engineering team with responsibilities in mentorship and hiring. Owned the product roadmap and translated stakeholder needs into technical deliverables. Developed backend services in Java Spring Boot on AWS Cloud, designed event-driven microservices using AWS SQS, developed serverless functions with AWS Lambda, integrated third-party tools including PSD2 financial APIs, Peppol and accountancy platforms, and built an AI-native workflow with Claude Code.
Co-founded a mobile AI startup matching users to homes using swipe-based interaction and personalized GPT-driven recommendations via the OpenAI API. Designed the MVP in Figma, initiated backend setup in Java, and planned real estate data scraping. Project paused after strategic analysis due to entry barriers in the Belgian real estate sector.
Consulted at Admisol NV, modernizing Java 11 legacy systems and implementing third-party API integrations including Visma Silverfin. Contributed to the development of a new cloud-native app using Spring Boot, React, and AWS.
