IT Project Manager

Belfius Bank

Jun 2012 - Feb 2023

I was involved in several collaboration solutions for internal use in the company, most of them based on Microsoft SharePoint. Mobile apps played an increasingly large part in these projects, so I was supervising a few (small) development projects on both iOS and Android. Additionally, I continued to maintain around 50 ColdFusion applications (extending them when needed, upgrading versions and servers, etc.).

IT Project Manager

Jul 1986 - Jun 2012

Here's a brief overview of the functions I have excercised (in chronological order): IT trainer, functional analist, team coordinator/manager (up to 30 people), project manager, and technical lead. I have been involved in the development of stand-alone tools as well as client/server architectures and (currently) web-based applications. I have built applications for developers (for versioning, bug tracking and deployment), teller applications for branch offices, and administrative tools. I have been involved in several content management solutions for internal use, including Wikis. In the last years of this job I have been maintaining the Dexia content management tools and doing intranet application development using Adobe's ColdFusion platform; at the same time, I was involved in developing solutions with Microsoft SharePoint.
