Career Profile

🚀 PAM Architect at Cegeka

At Cegeka, I specialize in designing and implementing cutting-edge Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions for our customers, ensuring robust security and seamless user experiences.

👨‍💻 Previous Experience

Before joining Cegeka, I served as a PAM Solution Engineer at Proximus, where I worked on the high-impact IPRAM project. This initiative focused on gaining control over Proximus' high-privileged accounts, enhancing security across critical systems.

Prior to that, I spent 9 years as an IAM Consultant, with a strong focus on federation technologies. My role included architecting and deploying IAM solutions for major projects, as well as providing long-term support for these implementations.

One of my standout contributions was to the FAS/CSAM service, a vital platform enabling Belgian citizens to securely interact with government services online. This system covers identification, authentication, authorization, and mandate management, forming a cornerstone of digital government accessibility.

⚽ Beyond the Tech World

Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports, photography, and giving back to the community. I proudly serve as a goalkeeper coach at K. Boechoutse V.V., donate blood regularly, and capture life’s moments through my lens whenever I can.
