Chaos Order and Me! 

BIOGRAPHY

Hello, I'm Jochen Van Severen. My life has been a journey through diverse interests, each shaping me into the IT professional I am today.

Starting with music, I learned the importance of creativity, teamwork, and teaching. Skills that have proven valuable in collaborative environments.

On a rainy day or when a friend needs a good talk, I delve into psychology and philosophy, providing me the capability to listen and help. "Life is chaos and order and we need both" is my personal quote that ensures I'm never scared of new situations, eager to learn, and not afraid to work.

Sustainability and changing people's daily lives, my third passion, has driven me to look for ways to make a meaningful impact. In IT, I see opportunities to blend this commitment with technological solutions.

As a blend of these diverse interests, I am motivated to create innovative solutions for initiatives that matter.
