Yannick Clybouw is a Lead Backend Software Engineer based in Ghent with nine years of experience building Python and Google Cloud-powered systems and leading backend teams. He combines hands-on API development in Python and Go with architecture, testing, deployment and infrastructure expertise, often acting as the technical owner from design through production. As a co-founder of Winston Analytics he blends ML-driven product work with practical engineering, shipping voice-analysis features and steering product/technical trade-offs. His freelance background includes scaling data platforms, load testing, and Cloud-native migrations for clients across domains, so he’s comfortable both advising on process and implementing the solution. Yannick’s early hardware and telecom experience gives him a systems-oriented perspective that informs robust, cost-conscious designs. He’s pragmatic, detail-oriented and particularly skilled at turning experimental ML or cloud prototypes into reliable, production-grade services.
