I'm Benoît Degrève, a Belgian IT professional based in Mons. With over 15 years of experience in IT support, data management, and geospatial software, I design and manage robust databases (PostgreSQL/PostGIS), visualize spatial data with GIS tools, and deploy open-source GIS platforms like geOrchestra. I enjoy turning data into actionable insights and delivering reliable, scalable solutions that help teams work more efficiently. Recently I expanded into modern web and API development with training in NestJS, Angular, TypeORM, and Tailwind. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams, keeping security in mind, and continuously learning new technologies. When I’m not coding, I’m likely exploring the outdoors or playing music.
