Willem Vanhulle
Professional
I am a mathematician and computer scientist from Ghent, Belgium. I attempted physics, but became enamoured with fermenting bacteria before finishing. Since 2020, I have worked in scientific and tech start-ups as a software engineer. In 2025, I gathered my experience and taught a Rust course for intermediate developers.
In the past year I broadened my horizon to include C++ in my expertise and help companies deal with their large legacy codebases.
For a more complete overview, see my CV.
Personal
I organise SysGhent, an open community for systems programmers. It’s a group of people who finished their studies, but miss learning and we do lectures and meet-ups. Life is too short to sit only behind your computer.
I maintain a tool for learning the Nu scripting language: nu-lint.
- My latest open-source projects are hosted at Codeberg
- Recently, GitHub became slow and bloated, but you can still find there at GitHub
