Hi, welcome here. Over the past decade, my work has been at the intersection of trust and emerging technology: first blockchain and digital identity, now expanding into Trusted AI Agents.
Along the way: led the Web3 team at Howest, co-founded the LFDT European chapter, host the LFDT Belgium Meetup, received the LFDT Community Award in 2025, spoke at international conferences, and delivered EU-funded research projects.
Giving back matters too: KUBO, founded in 2017, brings tech education to schools in Gambia and Uganda, now reaching 2500 kids every week.
