Gilles Trenson is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who transitioned from civil and structural engineering into building pragmatic digital tools that make "boring" workflows delightful. Based in Ghent, he blends an analytical engineering background (Master's in Civil Engineering from Ghent University) with hands-on web and Python development across startups and consultancies, most recently at Powernaut after roles at Aug.e and Sweco Belgium. He maintains a Digital Garden to track learning, side projects and experiments, reflecting a deliberate habit of turning curiosities into reusable code and documentation. Known for seeking opportunities to automate and simplify routine tasks, he brings a curious, iterative mindset and cross-disciplinary perspective to product-focused engineering.
