Mahhou Solutions started while I was finishing my master's at Ghent University, during an internship at one of Belgium's large consulting firms. I was building software there for the kind of client that expects everything to work on day one.
That is where the standard became concrete for me. Not the ideas, the execution: how a system is structured, how it is tested, what it feels like when someone has genuinely thought it through. The businesses I grew up around deserved that same standard. Almost none of them had a route to it.
AI is what opened that route, and I am transparent about using it. The firms working at that level use the same tools, Claude included. Access was never the hard part. Knowing how to direct them is, and that is the skill I spent those years building.
So that is what I do now: work built to the standard I learned there, for the businesses that were never on the list for it. Good software doesn't have to be expensive anymore. That is the whole reason this company exists.
None of that rests on my word alone. The certifications behind it are at the bottom of this page.
