About me
Hey there! I'm Michiel, a junior software enthusiast with a curiosity for crafting technology solutions. Currently exploring the world of civil engineering, I thrive on learning new technologies and solving puzzles through coding. My portfolio is a playground where I showcase my projects, each one a journey of discovery and growth. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to tackle pressing global challenges like biodiversity conservation and sustainability. Let's build something awesome together!
Programming Portfolio
WALL-E
Working on this project, I've been diving into ROS (Robot Operating System) and ROS2, learning about PID and Fuzzy Logic controllers for managing how the robot moves, and getting hands-on with Gazebo simulations. WALL-E can follow a black line using its videofeed and a PID controller. You can also control it manually with a keyboard. Next up, I'm working on making it even smarter with SLAM, which helps it map out where it is using a Kalman filter to localize itself.

Coconnect
Coconnect is a website I created for my mother, a psychologist. It's one of the first websites I've ever built, using HTML, CSS, and incorporating the Bootstrap 5 framework. While the site is a beginner's effort, it has been a valuable learning experience in web development and working with a real-world client. I've gained practical skills in implementing responsive design principles and effectively showcasing my mother's expertise and services online.

A look into my life
Schoolhouse.world
As a dedicated tutor on schoolhouse.world for a few months in 2021, I have accumulated 12 hours of tutoring across 10 sessions, impacting learners from 11 different countries. With a focus on Enrichment, Algebra 2, and Computer Science, I've received 35 positive ratings and 16 acknowledgments for being super helpful. In addition to my online tutoring, I'm currently assisting high school students in mathematics and Latin, helping them prepare for tests and exams with effective and engaging personal lessons.
Royal Belgian Air Cadets
Starting in 2023, I embarked on a rigorous journey with the Royal Belgian Air Cadets, passing multiple evaluations including math, Dutch, a PT, and a medical exam. This led to a two-week theoretical camp, which also served as a bootcamp experience. After successfully passing the exam, I completed over 35 flights in Bertrix, including 8 solo flights. I earned my C badge certificate, signifying that I had been in the air solo for over one hour. The thrill of solo flight and the sense of freedom it provides is something I truly cherish.
