About Me

Hi👋 My name is Tom Kluskens. A student in my last year in my bachelor Applied Information Technology at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Ghent, and I bring hands-on experience in backend development. I've built multiple web applications, worked with APIs, and delivered projects under tight deadlines. Whether it's Java or C#, I adapt quickly and learn even faster.

What truly drives me is not just coding, but the full development process. I enjoy presenting ideas clearly and discussing a project's plan of approach directly with the client. Turning requirements into concrete, technical solutions is something I feel at home with.

Years of playing basketball taught me teamwork, while my internship abroad sharpened my problem-solving skills in real, production-level environments.

In my free time, you'll find me experimenting with my homelab setup, maintaining my server, or building new webapp sideprojects to explore fresh technologies and improve my skills. I love diving into both the practical and creative sides of computing.

In short, I bring technical expertise, adaptability, communication skills, and a proactive mindset needed to move backend projects forward. If you're looking for a backend developer who delivers results and thrives in collaboration, let's talk!
