About Me
Hey there, I'm Raf Bergs, a budding developer with a bachelor's degree in applied computer science with a focus on application development. While getting my degree, I've built up a foundation in the world of development and gained invaluable knowledge and practical experience that will serve as a jumping-off point for my future endeavors.
I am starting my journey as a junior full-stack developer. Building upon my foundational programming knowledge, I am eager to further develop my skills in both front-end and back-end development.
When I'm not behind my computer, you're most likely to find me working out in the gym or taking care of my plants. You can always get to know me better by checking out my socials in the navigation bar, looking at my resume, or simply contacting me by email.

Intern @ Acerta
Feb 2023-May 2023 | LeuvenDuring my internship at Acerta, I was part of the Connect-Evolution team, which focused on modernizing an outdated application. My primary responsibility was developing a repertorium application—a management system for various codes used by Acerta, such as those indicating work status or absence due to illness. The project heavily relied on Java and Spring Boot as the core technologies.
