What I'm looking for

I seek roles building accessible, user-focused web products where I can lead engineering, mentor juniors, and deliver measurable civic or data-driven impact.

I am a senior full-stack web developer with extensive experience building civic, data-driven, and consumer platforms using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and modern frontend frameworks. I have led projects that scaled to thousands of users and delivered measurable public impact.

My work includes building participatory democracy tools, citizen science platforms, and publisher ad-tech systems; notable projects include Caruna.be, Burgerbegroting.be, City Monitor, FoodandYou.org, and FoodRepo.org. I consistently improve accessibility, integrate third-party services, and mentor junior engineers to raise team quality.

I seek to create inclusive, well-tested products that drive engagement and real-world outcomes, leveraging a tech stack that includes Rails, React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, and cloud services.
