About

I’m currently in my final year of the Master’s in Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

I like playing CTFs with my team, and we consistently ranked in the top 10 among approximately 275 competing teams at the Cybersecurity Challenge Belgium for three consecutive years (2023-2025). I mostly focus on the web and forensic categories. I’ve also reported security vulnerabilities to two popular websites with more than 1M yearly visits.

I have a fair bit of experience in web application development through student jobs and volunteering at Infogroep, the student association for Computer Science at the VUB.

I also have experience using Go, Rust, TypeScript, and JavaScript through side projects, and Scala, C, Java, Python, Haskell, and Erlang through coursework.

Education #

Master’s in Computer Science @ VUB (2023 - Present) #

Expected graduation in 2025.
Specialization: Software Languages and Software Engineering

DARE 2024 Summer School @ TU Darmstadt (2024) #

Participated in the second ACM Europe Summer School on Distributed and Replicated Environments (DARE 2024). The summer school focussed on techniques for supporting mixed consistency systems.

It consisted of lectures by active researchers in the field and hands-on sessions. It was followed by a research project, in which I extended Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) for dynamic application updates.

Bachelor in Computer Science @ VUB (2020 - 2023) #

Graduated with greatest distinction.
