Simon Van den Bossche

Belgian, based in Sint-Martens-Latem. Backends shipped for VDAB (citizen-registration platforms used by millions), TechWolf (SOC 2 Type II), Inetum (semantic IoT for smart cities). Currently: enterprise security architecture and AI security at VDAB and TechWolf.

I take engagements where teams need a second opinion they can trust and the engineering depth to act on it. I write code, I read code, I show up in standups, and I leave behind systems your team can keep running.
