About Bart
A teacher in everything I do_
I'm self-taught. I learn by watching and copying, and that's how I teach too: you work, I look over your shoulder, and you go home with something you made yourself.
My career spans three fields: events, education and AI. What connects them is that I like building something from nothing and then explaining it in such a way that others can take it further. I understand the tool and the person who has to work with it.

03 · What I stand for
I have chosen to inform.
I don't put anyone under pressure and I don't build in dependency. Whoever learns something from me has to be able to do it without me afterwards. I don't take shortcuts, even when they sell faster.
