About

Hey, I'm Lars.

It started with games. As a kid I hosted my own Minecraft servers: plugins, port forwarding and the occasional crash at the worst possible moment. That's why I picked IT in high school, and I never looked back.

At university college, team projects like Rydes and HelloMeal taught me the code is rarely the hard part. Since then I’ve built the mobile and web side of a contact centre platform at Ideal Systems and client products at Codifly. From 19 October I’m a software engineer at Warren.

I like small teams, strict types and owning a feature from first sketch to production. Got something in mind? Let’s chat.

Where I've made an impact

Oct 2026 → Present
Ghent, Belgium
Software Engineer
Warren
Building the tools that make money make sense. At Warren I work on pensions, investing and the data behind them, so every employee sees their numbers clearly and makes smarter choices with them. Financially fearless, one chart at a time.

Affligem, Belgium
Web & Mobile Developer
Codifly
Shipped client products on web and mobile in a small product team, from the very first Figma frame all the way to the app store.
- Shipped features end-to-end across Expo apps and web dashboards, on a typed tRPC + Prisma stack that caught my mistakes before users did
- Worked directly with designers and clients, turning feedback into small, frequent releases instead of one big scary one
- Raised the quality bar with end-to-end tests in Playwright and infrastructure as code in Terraform. Fewer surprises, fewer late nights

Vilvoorde, Belgium
JavaScript Developer
Ideal Systems
Built the mobile and web side of a contact-centre (CCaaS) platform for telecom customers. Yes, the people who answer when you call.
- Built React Native apps that let contact-centre agents handle calls and customers on the go, desk optional
- Designed Node.js + DynamoDB services with Zod-validated contracts shared between client and server, so both sides finally agreed on what the data looks like
- Rebuilt web interfaces on React, Vite, Tailwind and shadcn/ui, side by side with design
- Owned customer-reported issues from triage to fix, playing translator between support and engineering
