Futures thinker · Sociologist · Engineer

Let's think about the future together.

I help teams see further — and build what's actually possible once they do.

Part sociologist, part software engineer. I facilitate future-scenario workshops, write about AI and uncertainty, and build the tools in between. Based in Brussels, always up for a coffee.

What I do

Future scenario workshops

The fastest way to expand a team's horizons. I facilitate sessions where you map possible futures — AI, technology, social shifts, or all three — and leave knowing exactly which signals to watch for. Not an unstructured creative session; you walk away with something concrete.

Writing

Short pieces on AI, organizations, and how teams navigate uncertainty. Not thought leadership — honest observations from someone who both writes the code and runs the conversations.

Building things

Ruby/Rails · JavaScript · React Native · AI integration. Eight-plus years building web and mobile apps. The technical depth isn't for show — it's what keeps the future scenarios grounded in what's actually buildable.

Need someone who can write the code and explain why it matters? Let's talk.

A sociologist and a software engineer. That combination is why I see the patterns between systems — the human ones and the technical ones.

— why the unusual path matters

About

An unusual path: sociology degree → marketing → HR → software development → teaching 500+ developers at Le Wagon → building e-bike software at Cowboy → facilitating future-scenario workshops.

The breadth lets me explore wide-ranging scenarios. The technical depth keeps them honest. And the curiosity is the constant.

Let's actually meet.

I'm genuinely open to meeting interesting people. Want to run a scenario workshop, explore an idea, or just grab a coffee in Brussels and talk about where things are heading?
