    Bio

    Hallo! I’m a Belgian living in Cape Town with a passion for education, training and WordPress, trying to combine the three at WooCommerce (Automattic). In my spare time, I enjoy movies, music, photography, reading, travelling, good food and (Belgian) beer. I share some of my thoughts and photos on my personal site.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Started using it in 2007 to share my MSc thesis and enjoyed blogging a bit as well.
