Über mich
I distribute software for structural engineers in Belgium and Luxemburg to ensure the stability of constructions in steel, concrete and timber according to the Eurocodes. As a Belgian engineer I have grown in my career from a projectmanager in a technical environment into an entrepreneur helping engineers to work efficient with structural engineering software. Driven by my interest in new technologies I shifted in 2005 from the construction side into the software side. At Nemetschek Scia I started as a Services Engineer where I gave training and helpdesk on their FEM software to an international customer base. In 2011 I founded the company Whitebox in Belgium. With IDEA StatiCa BeNeLuxFrance we have distributed software tools for concrete and steelconnections from scratch. Started in 2011 and stopped in 2023. With Dlubal RFEM Belgium we are still distributing 3D FEM software for the checking of stability of structures according all Eurocodes (Steel, Concrete, Timber, ... ).
