Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiels Claes is an IT/IS Manager with eight years of hands-on experience delivering organized, deadline-driven IT services across manufacturing and digital agencies from Leuven, Belgium. He combines systems and network administration roots with senior web development and project management experience, recently leading IT at Veranco after a stint at Innovia Films. A pragmatic problem-solver, he brings structured processes to operations while retaining a developer’s mindset—contributing back-end data handling code to the scientific yt project for AMRVAC simulation IO and unit normalization. Equally comfortable managing support teams as he is diving into Python or legacy Fortran code, he thrives in coffee-rich environments that reward curiosity and continual learning.
