Senior🎓
Top SchoolFilip Van Laenen is a senior application development adviser at Computas with over two decades of software engineering experience and dual M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science and Electrical & Electronics Engineering from KU Leuven. He blends hands-on development, architecture, and technical leadership with a strong focus on software quality and IT security, mentoring teams to become better programmers. Proficient across a wide technology stack—Java, Ruby, XML ecosystems, Smalltalk, scripting languages, REST/SOAP—and familiar with TDD, static analysis and mutation testing, he advises on architectural reviews, migrations, and code quality. Beyond consulting, Filip applies applied statistics and electoral-system knowledge to build and maintain Europe Elects’ poll database and fast seat-projection tooling, reflecting an uncommon mix of software engineering and quantitative modeling. He speaks at international conferences, contributes occasionally to podcasts and blogs, and prefers pragmatic, evidence-driven practices like Lean and Scrum (and even #NoEstimates) when improving teams and processes.
