I am an Infrastructure Design Engineer with a multidisciplinary background in infrastructure, landscape, architecture, urbanism, and construction.
Currently based in Belgium, I work on infrastructure and blue-green landscape projects, contributing to roadworks, sewer networks, drainage, grading, and integrated water management.
My previous experience in architectural design and construction, together with my Master’s degrees in Architectural Engineering and Urbanism, Landscape and Planning from KU Leuven, gives me a broad understanding of how infrastructure, buildings, landscape, and public space come together.
I am particularly interested in BIM and digital engineering and am developing my expertise in Civil 3D, InfraWorks, Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, QGIS, and data-driven workflows.
My goal is to contribute to infrastructure projects where technical quality, digital coordination, and sustainable spatial design come together.
Brussels Canal reimagines a former industrial zone as a vibrant, inclusive urban landscape. By embracing adaptive reuse, the project preserves the site's industrial identity while introducing new layers of functionality. A network-based zoning approach organizes space around play, ecology, and mobility, fostering dynamic and inclusive urban life. Strategic design transforms barriers into connectors, enhancing flow and accessibility. The result is a cohesive integration of landscape, built form, and infrastructure that responds to the site’s unique rhythm, history, and topography.
A Private Hook explores how architecture can foster community through thoughtful design. By using shared spaces as the central spine, the project encourages social interaction while preserving privacy. The layout ensures smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor environments, blending functionality with harmony. Rooted in the natural context, the design embraces light, air, and green elements to enhance the well-being of its residents.
The GreenHealth Center exemplifies sustainable design integrated from the earliest stages, using passive solar strategies like recessed glazing, sun-shading, and natural ventilation to optimize energy efficiency in a hot, humid climate. The project creates harmonious transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing occupant comfort. With strong technical expertise, it incorporates biophilic features such as sky terraces and green balconies, alongside high-performance materials and façades. Designed to accommodate diverse programmatic needs—including medical offices, retail, and parking—within a vertical structure, it skillfully balances complexity, clarity, and accessibility.
