About 

My career has developed in several Belgian architecture offices and general contractors, working primarily on designing and managing the construction of private buildings. My most recent position gave me the opportunity to manage the construction of large scale buildings with multiple types of apartments designed in BIM. Now I am at a point in my career when I want to be challenged and pushed to the next level in the projects I take on. I am interested in working more on design and technical installation. I thrive in problem-solving situations and conflict resolution. I want to work on projects that are focused on energy efficiency, public service, social housing and climate emergency.
