Building Cool Stuff, Learning, And Giving Back Where I Can
Bert: Co-founder of Reposible. Based in ☂ Belgium.
My name is Bert, a passionate and ambitious software developer from Belgium with a focus on building efficient and innovative solutions. I’m driven by curiosity and the desire to create tools that not only work well, but also make a real difference in people’s lives.
When I was younger, it was the generosity of the programming community, the open-source repositories, countless YouTube tutorials, and Stack Overflow answers, that fueled my growth and kept me inspired. Without that shared knowledge, I wouldn’t be the developer I am today.
That’s why contributing back, building openly, and sharing what I learn has become such an important part of my work. Today, I’m proud to call myself a software developer. Proud of the solutions I create, the challenges I’ve overcome, and the journey that has shaped me. Above all, I’m proud to keep learning, sharing, and building, together with others who share the same passion for creating something meaningful.
