Embedded system engineer in the automotive industry by training, I have always aimed to work in research. After a detour in the US and attempting to work in the industry, I refocused on my primary objective and moved to Belgium to pursue a career as a research software engineer in bioscience.
I spent three years working for a neuroscience lab that is part of NERF. During this time, I gained a basic understanding of the brain but, more importantly, valuable insights into lab development processes, the goals of research software, and the challenges involved in achieving these goals.
With this experience, I founded my own freelance company to help various laboratories improve the quality of their software production. For the past year, I have been working with labs and startups in Belgium, France, and Switzerland across different scientific domains, including neuroscience, MRI segmentation, and cell sequencing.
