Who I Am

A curious mind driven by technology, creativity, and a love for building things.

I am a third-year Applied Informatics student at Thomas More in Geel. My passion for technology and problem-solving has driven me to explore various aspects of IT, including infrastructure engineering, cybersecurity, networking, and software development. I enjoy tackling challenges and continuously improving my skills to stay ahead in the ever-evolving tech industry.

Outside of my studies, I have a variety of hobbies that help me maintain a balanced and creative lifestyle. I enjoy photography, capturing unique moments and landscapes. I also have a strong interest in strategy games and board games, which help me develop critical thinking and teamwork skills.

These hobbies, combined with my passion for IT, make me a well-rounded individual who is dedicated to achieving academic and professional success while also valuing creativity, teamwork, and personal growth.
