I started coding at 10, on a Commodore 128.
My father promised to help me buy it if I financed a third of it, so I spent a year saving every franc I could.
At first, I played, like all kids… then I wanted to understand how these games were made.
My father gave me BASIC books, and I started copying code line by line — debugging my mistakes, and even the mistakes in the books.
That's how it all started.

It was a revolution, but everything was very basic back then. Before the web, we were on IRC, in a very small tech community.
In 1995, I made my first website to showcase my cow drawings — with a handheld scanner and rudimentary HTML.
Connections were slow, displaying an image took forever.
I saw the web go from a playground for enthusiasts to today's global tool, and I grew with it.

Yes, exactly. Since I was little, I wanted to be a painter and artist.
My father gave me my first computer at 10, so I've always juggled between drawing and code.
I wanted to go to Fine Arts school, but my father thought it wasn't a "real job", so I chose to become an art teacher.
The problem is, in Belgium, there were very few positions, and since I couldn't find work, I decided to go back to school for computer science, even though I wanted to do web and there was no dedicated program at the time.

No, because I don't touch everything "a little bit".
I simply learned to do everything well, so my clients don't have to run after five different providers.
I handle projects from logo to live site, including photos and setup on Google or social media with the same attention to detail everywhere.

During my last year, I did a long internship at a company in Belgium, it's six months.
I quickly found my place between the coders and the designers: I understood both languages, and I helped bridge the gap between them.
The company wanted to hire me, but I wanted to explore other things.
I then worked in a small company in Brussels, a sort of startup before its time, where I really started getting into the profession, even if the details are a bit fuzzy today.

Not quite.
After my studies, I first worked in a small company, then I became freelance.
I then had an experience at a company in Paris before co-creating a business specializing in hosting and web services, which I co-managed for sixteen years.
Today, I'm independent again, with a complete vision of the web, both technical and creative.

After a very intense experience at a Parisian company where I was working over 60 hours a week, I ended up having a real burnout.
I then decided to completely change pace and create a company with my ex, initially focused on web development.
I continued working with my old Belgian clients and managing several custom projects.
Later, the company shifted toward hosting and technical services.
On my end, I handled client management, administrative aspects, and coordination.
This period allowed me to understand the web in its entirety, from the server to the user experience.

Everything:
online communities like Parano.be or Bide et Musique,
sites for associations and artists,
a complete B2B event management system,
an internal search engine for ESA,
and today, custom projects around WordPress, Python, or AI tools.
What I love is the diversity, each project teaches me something.

Yes! In its early days, when everything was shared on forums.
I helped beginners, wrote tutorials, tested scripts.
It was an exciting time, full of real exchanges, without algorithms or social media filtering knowledge.

Always.
I love writing code as much as thinking about a project's strategy.
I create my own WordPress plugins, Python tools, and even browser extensions when it's useful.
I'm a developer at heart, even when I'm doing graphic design.

Yes, all the time.
I've always closely followed the evolution of the web: every new technology, I tested it.
I learned CSS when it came out, explored Flash at its peak, touched Python, C#, Second Life's LSL… basically, I've always had that curiosity.
Some things I liked, others not, but I've always taken the time to try and understand.
I still continue today to learn and experiment, because in this profession, you never really stop learning.

Since I was little, I wondered if one day we'd see machines capable of "intelligence".
When AI actually arrived, it fascinated me — and it gave me a real boost in coding and learning.
Today, I use AI every day as a work tool, to test, search, speed up certain steps, or explore new ideas.
But I always keep control: I check, I verify, I structure.
For me, AI is a powerful help, not a replacement.
It's also proof that, even at 50, I continue to adapt, learn, and move forward with the technologies that evolve our profession.

After several years managing web projects and hosting in Paris, I moved to Italy and returned to freelancing.
In recent years, I've updated my skills, explored new technologies, and refocused how I work.
Today, I create custom sites, develop my own plugins and tools, and help my clients have a clear, effective, and sustainable online presence.

Freelancers, small businesses, shelters, artists, craftspeople…
I prefer projects where there's human contact, a clear idea, and a real purpose.
I'm not looking for quantity, but collaborations that make sense.

I started on the web before it was trendy,
I went through all its ages,
and I'm still here, because I still love what I do.
I don't fit in a box and that's perfectly fine.
I love the side roads, projects with soul, and ideas that become real.
