Steven Vandevelde is an energy-focused tech leader and team coach with 15 years of experience developing and financing renewable projects across solar, wind and storage while also advocating for distributed tech and user agency. At Eneco Belgium he blends hands-on project development (from permitting to financing) with coaching teams in Flanders to accelerate sustainable energy deployment. He’s a web engineer and open-source creator—author of diffuse.sh and a contributor to notable projects like elm-pages where he improved SEO and prerendering behavior. With dual engineering and management masters from KU Leuven and Groep T, he bridges technical rigor and entrepreneurial strategy. He co-founded The Blue Academy to embed sustainability principles in student education, reflecting a long-standing commitment to system-level change. That mix of project delivery, developer fluency and grassroots sustainability activism makes him equally effective in boardrooms, codebases and community rooms.
