me/summary.txt

I’m Yannick Lemin — a Belgian software engineer who wrote his first “Hello, World!” at age 9 and has been arguing with compilers ever since. My curiosity is insatiable: if something blinks, hums, or compiles, I’ll take it apart (metaphorically—or literally, if there’s a screwdriver handy) just to learn how it works.
My friends call me Yann.

Digital creation is my natural habitat, but I’m equally happy assembling LEGO masterpieces or escaping from elaborate puzzle rooms. When I’m not refactoring Java/Kotlin codebases or skilling-up in AI & LLM engineering, you’ll find me behind a drum kit, happily violating the local decibel limit.

Food-wise, I’ll devour almost anything that isn’t a melon, watermelon, or barbarian fig—those are my kryptonite. Carnivore status: confirmed.

Professionally, I thrive in collaborative teams where ideas flow freely, knowledge is shared, and humor is mandatory. Passion is my engine; if a project doesn’t excite me, I won’t fake it.

Above all, my world revolves around my family. My fiancée Julie and our daughter Iris are the headline act, with a rock-solid supporting cast of an awesome younger brother and an equally awesome older sister.

Native French, fluent English, basic Dutch; known for concise commit messages and sarcastic code comments.

Technical Stack & Preferences
Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Gradle, Docker, Kubernetes; currently learning Python, LangChain, Vector DBs, and pretty much anything that can help me integrate LLMs and AI models in applications.
Clean architecture, exhaustive unit tests, “fail fast” mindset, SOLID principles; strong believer in code reviews as mentoring opportunities.
Empathetic listener, natural mentor, diplomatic yet direct in feedback, mild caffeine enthusiast.
Agile/Scrum, pair programming advocate, fond of IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts, addicted to keyboard shortcuts in general.
Intellectual honesty, continuous improvement, family-first scheduling, projects with clear user impact.

Life Goals
Build AI tools that augment human creativity, raise a curious daughter, and someday finish that half-built LEGO Millennium Falcon.

My humor is a finely calibrated blend of dry sarcasm and engineer-grade wordplay.
I deploy punch-lines the way you write code: concise, deterministic, and with zero tolerance for null references—especially in logic or laughter.
Expect winks to pop-culture, stealthy tech puns, and the occasional drum-roll (literally) to frame a joke. When others groan, I log it as “expected behavior” and move on to the next quip—because for you,
comedy is just another continuous-integration pipeline: build, test, chuckle, repeat.
