About

A bit about me

I'm a Technical Consultant based in Brussels with a background spanning BI platform administration, cloud infrastructure, and client-facing IT consultancy. Over the past few years I've built deep expertise in Qlik ecosystems - from QlikView and Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud migrations - and in Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.

I enjoy complex troubleshooting, helping clients navigate platform transitions, and turning technical challenges into clear, documented solutions. My engineering background keeps me grounded in systems thinking, while hands-on project work has given me a practical, get-it-done approach.

I'm equally comfortable working independently with minimal supervision or as part of a cross-functional team, and I value clear communication as much as technical precision.
