Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManu De Buck is a co-founder and computer science engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building custom software that automates operations and connects systems for SMEs and startups from ideation to scale. Based in Ghent, Belgium, he blends full-stack engineering (Python, PHP, Node.js) with product ownership, API design and long-term maintenance as a “partner for life.” He previously focused on backend and API work at journy.io and has experience migrating services and authoring linked-data ontologies at IDLab, showing comfort with both practical engineering and research-adjacent tooling. Outside client work he teaches introductory Python to secondary students and volunteers in large student-led events, demonstrating a knack for mentoring and organizing technical teams. His GitHub ethos—whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right—reflects a pragmatic, can-do approach to solving complex integration challenges.
