Student Development Project I — a team-built full-stack application delivered across an academic semester, from requirements to deployment.
Applied CS student at HoGent.

I am Bavo Vancoppernolle, a final-year Applied IT student at HOGENT in Ghent, specializing in full-stack development and graduating in 2026. I am driven by a desire to unravel complex logic; I thrive on tackling intricate code and am constantly exploring new methodologies and technologies to push my boundaries.
An organized mindset and a methodical approach form the foundation of everything I build. Consequently, I place great emphasis on clean architecture and software that delivers meaningful impact. This focus is reflected in my diverse projects, ranging from logistical route optimization and robust backend data pipelines to integrating LLMs into production environments.
My international startup internship in Italy significantly broadened my professional outlook. This experience taught me to adapt quickly in dynamic settings, take ownership of challenges independently, and collaborate effectively across language and cultural boundaries.
