Bachelor's in Computer Science
UCLouvain
Overview
My Bachelor's in Computer Science provided a rigorous technical foundation, which I chose to supplement with a Minor in Entrepreneurship (Esprit d'Entreprendre). This unique combination allowed me to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business value. While the core curriculum gave me the tools to build complex systems, the entrepreneurship minor taught me to identify client needs deeply. It shifted my mindset from 'how do I code this?' to 'what problem are we actually solving?', ensuring I build useful, insightful projects linked to real-world challenges.
