Work
A mix of research, consulting work, and projects I built for myself.

Open-Source Data Glove DK
ROBOTICS · XR, 2024Master's thesis: a full hardware and software development kit for an XR data glove. Designed custom PCBs, implemented and benchmarked sensor fusion algorithms against the SenseGlove Nova, and built ROS2 and Unity integrations over Bluetooth and WiFi.

Dynamic Traffic Management for AWV
INDUSTRIAL · SOFTWARE, 2024–Software automation engineer at TMC Belgium, on assignment with Tein Technology. Building SCADA and traffic-management software for Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer's dynamic traffic management infrastructure: WPF/XAML frontends, C# .NET backend services, industrial protocols, and the database and VM infrastructure around them.

MetaPLC: Industrial Automation Platform
INDUSTRIAL · SOFTWARE, 2025–A self-built platform to configure, program, deploy, operate, and simulate industrial devices from one web UI. Built on C# / .NET 8 with ASP.NET Core and Blazor Server, structured with Clean Architecture and DDD, backed by EF Core and PostgreSQL. Talks to ESP32 devices over MQTT with over-the-air firmware updates, and runs a real-time digital twin that can replay recorded production data.

Touch: AI-Assisted CAD Editor
AI · CAD, 2026–An open-source 3D CAD editor with an AI assistant. You click on part of the model and describe the change you want, and a planner turns it into an editable, append-only operation history on a build123d and OpenCASCADE kernel, exported to STEP. The engine (previously the Maquette project) runs from the command line today; the interactive Electron editor is in development.

Parallel SCARA Robot
ROBOTICS · MECHANICAL, 2023Bachelor's thesis: full mechanical and electrical design of a parallel SCARA installation for palletizing pétanque balls. Conveyor, indexing table, and SCARA arms designed from the ground up in Siemens NX, with FEA load analysis and a product line of six configurations derived from dynamic simulation.

iGEM Leuven 2022: SenSkill
WEB · SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY, 2022–2023Sole developer of the iGEM Leuven 2022 team wiki, a multi-page Bootstrap + Flask site documenting our SenSkill biosensor for colorectal cancer. Earned a gold medal for the website and silver for the project overall.

Self-Hosted Smart Home
HOMELAB · IOT, 2025–Personal smart-home stack running Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT over a Mosquitto MQTT broker, fronted by Caddy and observed end-to-end through Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager. Fully containerised with Docker Compose, with hardened systemd services for host-level exporters.
