K4P Technical Project Manager
I am a Technical Project Manager with 12 years of experience at the European Commission, working at the intersection of technology, digital platforms and project management.
I hold an MBA from Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) and a Bachelor's degree in IT from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
I started my career as a Drupal Specialist and progressively evolved into a Technical Project Management role, combining a strong technical background with the coordination and management of complex web development projects.
I am currently responsible for the development, maintenance and continuous evolution of the Knowledge for Policy (K4P) website within the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). Working closely with the K4P DevOps team and other stakeholders, I oversee and coordinate the technical aspects of the platform throughout its lifecycle, from development and maintenance to improvements, releases and ongoing operations.
Latest activities
The European project ESMIC is mapping, analysing and providing data on the impact of plastics on the cross-border beach Palanga between Lithuania and Latvia. To map plastics, scientists use several techniques, including drone imaging. This data is then compared with satellite images. This is how they determine which areas are most affected and the volume of algae and plastic that could help the municipalities. It is also of interest to the Lithuanian and Latvian authorities.
Global challenges, such as climate change and land and ecosystem degradation, coupled with growing demands for food and energy, force us to find new ways of producing and consuming. A sustainable and circular bioeconomy helps address these challenges. To develop a sustainable and circular bioeconomy, policies must be evidence-based and coherent across different sectors.
