About Me

Software Engineer & IT Consultant based in Wallonia, Belgium. Building smart energy systems, mobile apps, and full-stack platforms.

Hi, I'm Florent Cardoen, a Software Engineer and IT Consultant based in Wallonia, Belgium.

Experience

I'm currently Lead Software Engineer at Azimut Energy, where I architect and build the software ecosystem for smart home batteries — embedded software, cloud platforms, mobile apps, and integrations with energy services. I focus on scalability and robustness across the full stack.

Before that, I spent 6 years at Proximus, growing from Full Stack Engineer to Solution Engineer to Domain Architect. I built internal tools with Angular & Node.js for sales teams, designed solution architectures, and led domain-level technical decisions.

On the side, I run floca.be as an independent consultant (indépendant complémentaire), taking on freelance web development and consulting projects.

BePing

In 2017 I created BePing, the first mobile app for Belgian table tennis players. It lets thousands of players track results, rankings, club info, and match stats. I built the entire ecosystem — Flutter mobile app, GraphQL & REST API backends, push notifications, and a web frontend. Version 3 launched in 2025 with a full redesign.
