Software Developer, Home Cook & Recovering Steak Enthusiast

Lionel develops and tests the recipes on family dinners, and builds the site's tools: the nutrition calculation, the plate check and the climate map.

Lionel grew up convinced that a meal without steak was just a starter. He has since traded part of that meat for legumes, without ever agreeing to give up on flavor. By day, he has been building business software since 2019, from energy optimization tools to quality-control software for medical radiopharmaceuticals. By night, he builds this site: the recipe pages, the nutrition calculator and, admittedly, every bug you might find. He also cooks and tests the recipes on real family dinners, and only publishes the ones that get finished.

Background

Software developer since 2019 (C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, SQL, Azure)
Bachelor's degree in Information Systems (cum laude)
Designed and built Feast on the Planet and its nutrition engine
Head of recipe testing (self-appointed)
