About
Hi, my name is Laurens Sauvillers. I am a Software Engineer with currently 7 years of professional experience in (Full-Stack) Software Development. My interest in coding started about 15 years ago, first I started modding games, then I started building websites. I loved that I could bring my own ideas to life with my own coding.
Now that I made software development my professional career, I have had the privilege of working on many projects that involved:
- Web applications using .NET and Angular
- Desktop applications using WPF, .NET
- Worker services using .NET
- Architecting software and databases of new applications
My main focus these days is writing clean code, by applying the SOLID principles, and by designing the software in a Domain-Driven Design. I love to challenge myself by providing future proof, well written, and well tested solutions. For me, each new project is another adventure.
Outside software development I also like game development. My latest game dev project was an UI mod for the game Valheim that I made during my free time in 2021, it currently has more than 10000 unique downloads.
Besides coding, I am really fascinated by our history. I love to travel around Europe to learn more about our history.

This is a project that I have been working on during most of my free time, it will essentially be a fully flexible and scalable CRM.
I am very excited about this project, and I hope to share more news soon.
