Long Time Passion for Coding

A bachelor’s degree in Applied Informatics (HoGent) in your pocket and a long time passion for coding, seems to be the perfect combo for a job in the area of clean code.

Efficient Fleet Management Solution

During his 5 year journey at Debreuck Neirynck, Niels mainly focused on one specific assignment for Van Dessel Insurance Brokers one of the top five insurance brokers in Belgium. The latter is specialized in fleet insurance. As main developer, Niels had to create a software solution for an efficient fleet- and policy management called Fleet Solutions. A system that is able to calculate figures, track reports and send automated communication to customers and insurance companies. You can read the entire story on this project in our cases section.

At the start of this project, Niels was working in smaller teams, consisting of max. 2 people. But as the scope of the assignment grew bigger and bigger, so did the team.
