Hi, I'm Michiel, a passionate cloud engineer, full-stack webdeveloper,
and entrepreneur. I love to learn, teach, and build awesome things.
Currently making the cloud accessible at Smoothy.cloud ☁️🚀
For the fire department in Belgium, I built, host, and maintain a system that streamlines their
communication with the citizen. Various uniform websites were created with the primary goal to inform the
public. By integrating e-forms in the websites that serve as the primary reporting point for less urgent
incidents, we reduce the pressure on the emergency centers in crisis situations. This way, incidents
as flooding are handled solely through the website, so the emergency number 112 stays available for
life-threatening situations.

We R Motion
Together with my friend
Joren,
who shares the same passion for the art of storytelling as me, I founded a company called We R Motion.
The goal of this non-profit company was to come up with captivating stories and tell them through lights
and shadows. However, after a few successful video productions, we had to put We R Motion on hold,
due to a lack of time.

Epic Media
In 2014 I founded Epic Media, a creative agency specialized in capturing pixel perfect event-photos.
Over the years our team grew quickly and we had the chance to work with the biggest festivals,
clubs and brands in Europe.
2014 - 2017
Tikkit
From the year 2013 until 2014, I was part of an event agency specialized in organizing big nightlife
events. For these events, we needed an easy and secure way to sell online tickets. Besides this, we
also needed an efficient solution to validate these tickets at the entrance of the event. Instead of
choosing for an existing solution, I built my own system, which I later commercialized under the
name Tikkit.
2013 - 2014
Get Active
Get Active was my first company, which I founded at the age of 16. Back in 2012, I was developing
websites for local businesses, but later my focus shifted to photography. First I worked as a press
photographer for multiple news agencies. Later I discovered the challenging world of event
photography.
2012 - 2014
Geelse atletiekclub
After being an athlete for 2 years myself, I decided to take my career at the Geelse Atletiekclub a
step further. I got a degree as "aspirant-initiator" and became a coach. In addition to coaching, I
organized and coordinated multiple training camps and public sports events.
