As AI & Data Chapter Lead and now Technology Strategist & AI Solutions Architect at Verhaert Digital Innovation, he combines hands-on engineering with client-facing strategy to turn novel ideas into practical, deployable systems. He has a strong academic foundation in information engineering and artificial intelligence from Ghent University and KU Leuven, and a track record building big-data pipelines and end-to-end platforms.
