About Me

Over the past 7+ years, I've evolved from C#/.NET development to becoming a polyglot Engineer specializing in PHP/Laravel applications and Node.js/Python microservices. I've architected scalable solutions across e-commerce and SaaS platforms, designing and deploying services that handle millions of requests daily. I'm passionate about language agnostic clean architecture, and building systems that scale gracefully under pressure. @SiteLucent, next to shipping features, I have helped modernize legacy PHP monoliths into containerized ECS run workloads, building microservices using Node.js and Python, and implementing CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and deployment.

Below, you’ll find a glimpse of the projects I’ve worked on, the skills I’ve honed, and a few kind words from people I’ve had the chance to work with.

Anomaly Detection Sep 2018 – Jan 2019

DL anomaly proof of concept .
Flask + TensorFlow.

Deep‑learning anomaly detection PoC @Accenture.

@TensorFlow @Python @UI5

Graduation internship @Accenture: During my graduation internship at Accenture (SAP department), I developed a proof-of-concept to detect anomalies in images for a Dutch infrastructure client. The solution included a Python (Flask) API using TensorFlow/Keras to process images via HTTP requests, storing results in a database, and a SAP UI5 front-end to visualize anomalies. This demonstrated the feasibility of automated image analysis for the client.
