Summary
Geert Michiels is a Senior Solution Architect and seasoned technology leader with 11+ years of experience delivering mobile-first and composable architectures, currently shaping solutions at Empathy Lab by EPAM. He combines hands-on engineering — shipping multiple iOS/Android apps he owns like Snooker Coach 147 and Cue Measure — with senior roles in architecture, CTO, product and project management. A certified Professional Scrum Master II and lifelong tinkerer, he excels at listening to teams and turning undefined challenges into practical, built solutions. His background in industrial engineering and early work on VLSI and embedded systems gives him a rare hardware-to-cloud perspective. Geert’s career blends product ownership with deep technical delivery, from building consumer apps to leading MACH/composable strategies for enterprise clients. Based in Lede, Belgium, he thrives on designing things that don’t yet exist and seeing them reliably work in production.
