Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Lievens is a founder and seasoned full-stack engineer with 11 years of professional experience building resilient web systems from Ghent, Belgium. He leads Bigger Fish Consulting, applying a pragmatic "fail faster" mentality to design products people actually want while hardening organisations against communication weak points and disruption. His background ranges from hands-on Java development and technical leadership in public services to product-focused engineering at startups, giving him a rare blend of legacy-system experience and modern delivery practices. Jan prefers the role of a specialized generalist, able to spot systemic fragilities and translate them into practical, incremental improvements. He brings a track record of shipping full-stack solutions and coaching teams through change, rooted in formal ICT training and early conference speaking on Spring technologies. Outside the obvious, he intentionally engineers feedback loops into both code and organisational processes so learning compounds quickly.
