Some projects he was involved in:

1) Audit of an ICT environment: during the transformation of a state institute to a private company
This audit was done during the transformation of a state institute to a private company.
The aim was to minimise the ICT budget, which was on that moment a main part of the company budget.
The audit went through the complete ICT infrastructure: from PCs to servers, from a simple text processor until the ERP software used. Also the complete LAN/WAN infrastructure was reviewed. This lead to a significant cut in the ICT budget without loosing any functionality.
Companies/products involved: Peoplesoft (ERP), EasyPay, Siemens Business Services, Belgacom, Econocom, Software AG.
The three most important tasks were:
- audit of the Strategic IT plan: where are we now, what will it be at the end, how will the transition occur.
- audit of the “as is / to be” of people soft
- audit of the network infrastructure: connection of extern offices to the central office and safety implications.
Main problem noticed during the audit, was the lack of financial information (from VDAB) resulting in incorrect conclusions.


2) Dynamic websites
Developed and designed different dynamic database driven websites build around SQL server using ASP and .NET.
Main quality of these websites is the fact that they are fast using cheap hardware even with a large number of visitors.

3) System administration.
Set up company network infrastructure: internal, DMZ, external.
Some tasks:
- Configuring routers and firewalls
- Set-up mail-servers, web-servers, database-servers, mail gateways (for virus scanning)
- Set-up of backup procedures and recovery mechanisms (mirrored disks, stand-by servers, remote duplication…)
- Set-up virtual private networking for home workers.
Worst case disaster ever managed: lost of all servers, firewall and routers after a burglary in the server room. Web and mail services were back online within 24 hours.

4) Project Manager for DIFA: system to test the different communication channels of the International Space Station.
This project was developed for Alcatel Bell Space. The developed test equipment consisted of a distributed multi-processor system. It is used to simulate and analyse in real-time the communications between the different parts of the flight equipment under test.

5) Projects done in the real-time embedded field.
- Design and development of software ADSL modem for Windows, design and development of USB ADSL modem.
- RTOS evaluations (framework set-up, inventions of tests, measurements methods, analysis of results)
- Adaptation of PLC software and machine settings to improve the productivity of a production line.
- Other embedded: weaving loom control, mopier and copier software, digital television software, …
