About myself

Hi I’m Olivier Parent and I’m a lecturer and research scientist at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences, one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Belgium.

I teach subjects related to the fields of design science and computer science to undergraduate students. More specifically to those students studying in the degree programmes of Associate Degree in Computer Programming and Bachelor of Graphic and Digital Media.

I'm an alumnus of the University of Antwerp and Howest University of Applied Sciences, and I hold an MSc in Product Development and my industry experience includes numerous web development projects in Courtray, Brussels, Ghent, Stockholm, and London (Wimbledon and Westminster) for several high-end clients.
