I'm working as a GIS Consultant @ RealDolmen. Recent projects include implementing web and mobile gis systems and their backends, mostly based on open source components.

I hold a PhD in geology from Ghent University where I've developed techniques for mapping soils and water table dynamics.

I'm a contributor to SAGA GIS, Debian and Ubuntu GIS and the OSGEO live dvd. I blog infrequently at http://blog.gisky.be

I'm a fan of open source GIS software and have given different presentations about it:

• Open Source GIS in data analysis and science (OSGeo Belgium)
• Put your data on a map! (T-Dose, Eindhoven (the Netherlands))
• OSGeo Life, An Open Source Geospatial GNU/Linux Distribution at Foss4G Europe in Bremen.
