Hey, I'm
Thomas
a passionate full-stack developer based in Mouscron, Belgium. With a love for coding and creativity, I enjoy building innovative websites, applications, and backend systems that push the boundaries of what's possible.
I'm currently a student at Howest University in Kortrijk, pursuing my bachelor's degree in 2026. Before this, I completed two years of graduate studies (graduaat opleiding), which gave me a solid foundation in programming and web development. After completing these two years, I was ready to continue my education and chose to pursue a bachelor's degree.
When I'm not studying, you can find me cheering on my favorite Formula 1 drivers or watching epic cycling events like the Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, and Ronde van Vlaanderen. In my free time, I experiment with new programming languages, frameworks, and tools to stay ahead of the curve.
As a developer, I thrive in environments where creativity and problem-solving are encouraged. I enjoy working on projects that challenge me and allow me to grow as a professional. My goal is to create high-quality software that makes a positive impact on people's lives.
Development Style
My approach to coding is centered around simplicity, efficiency, and maintainability. I believe in writing clean, readable code that's easy to understand and modify. I'm passionate about using the latest technologies and frameworks to build scalable, secure, and performant systems.
I have a strong preference for working with Minimal API, which allows me to create robust and efficient APIs. For frontend development, I've fallen in love with Vue.js and TailwindCSS, which provide a great combination of simplicity and flexibility when it comes to designing and building websites. My go-to libraries include Shadcn, Magic UI, Radix UI, and UI components for creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.
To take my designs to the next level, I enjoy using Motion Framer or GSAP to add smooth animations and interactions to my projects. In addition to this, I've gained hands-on experience with a range of backend technologies, including Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, MongoDB, and Cosmos DB.
Personal Projects
In addition to my studies, I enjoy working on personal projects that allow me to express my creativity and experiment with new ideas. Some of these projects include:
- Building a weather API using Minimal API
- Creating a website with Vue.js and TailwindCSS
- Developing a mobile app for iOS and Android using Flutter
- Other projects that showcase my skills in backend development, APIs, and frontend design
These projects not only help me improve my skills but also give me the opportunity to learn from others in the development community.
Goals and Aspirations
In the short term, I'm looking to continue growing as a developer by learning new technologies, frameworks, and tools. Some of my goals include:
- Designing and launching my own SaaS product from scratch
- Building a personal website using Next.js
- Contributing to open-source projects on GitHub
In the long term, I aspire to work on projects that have a positive impact on society. This might include collaborating with organizations or businesses that align with my values and goals.

I'm open to collaborations, job opportunities, or simply sharing knowledge with others in the development community.
