Biography

I started my career as a developer and later progressed into the roles of functional analyst and project manager. Today, I work for the City of Roeselare, where I am involved in a variety of projects, including innovative Smart City initiatives. My work focuses on using data collection, data analysis and emerging technologies to address urban challenges and support data-driven decision-making. One of these projects is RainBrain, a project focused on smart water management. It combines data, sensors, forecasts and AI to gain better insights into rainfall and water flows.

Cities today stand at a turning point, where climate change, rapid urban growth, and environmental shifts are reshaping how urban areas function and evolve. These changes go beyond daily experience, influencing the very foundations and systems that support urban life. As cities adapt to increasing uncertainty and more complex challenges, the need for innovative, adaptive and resilient solutions becomes more urgent. This session brings together cutting-edge and practical solutions that help cities adapt, transform, and stay ahead of emerging challenges, paving the way toward more resilient, sustainable, and livable urban futures.
