Digitopia / House of Digital

All things development
A great development team partnered with an awesome Digital Signage Company. In consultation with Pegus Apps I made the move after the platform CITIE, for which I was the Technical Project Manager, was sold. Once the Due Diligence for the acquisition was completed, the group kept a place for me in the team.
With customers such as Belfius, BMW, Beaulieu and many more I had a lot of challenging fun. They are a wonderfull company to work at and to cooperate with. If you need signage solutions or any form of digital experience, these are the go-to people.

I was missing the start-up vibe. Pegus Apps pioneered Remote Working in the Flemish region. This new way of working caught my eye. I loved it and never looked back to the old way of working! With some very talented people in the team it was a very nice experience.
