As they always say, it’s difficult to describe oneself… I’ll give it a try anyhow. I’m Evarest – yes that’s weird name, but one that I’m proud to have – living in Belgium, currently Antwerp. I’ve always been interested in anything to do around technical stuff, resulting in a study for engineering in Leuven. This study has opened doors to the industry, and I’m now happily working. Despite that, I still long to create something of my own. As such, I’ve started a number of smaller projects to try out the water. In 2008, I started my biggest project, an Online Pharmacy named PublicPharma. In my blog, you’ll find a lot of in depth information about that particular project. Executing such project has been a challenge, one that defined me more than I could imagine, one that took me to the edge of what I was capable of.
After a great sailing trip, I was finally able to take distance, distance that was needed to see the bigger picture again. Having found back balance in my life, I’m again full of energy to try out a new project.
Personally, I really enjoy being around people. Ask me for a drink, and I’ll go. Ask me for a party, and I’m there. I totally enjoy traveling, and do try to do that the most I can. I’ve played the piano for years, and once I “settle” (oh my god) I’m sure I’ll install one in my home 
Currently, I’m living in Antwerp. A city that’s growing on me. Come and visit me, and I’ll show you around!

In the course of my startup, I was fortunate enough to come by a lot of opportunities. Indeed, having a startup, even a small one, will open doors that are otherwise closed to others. Despite all these possibilities, only a few of these opportunities actually became assets of the startup. This is normal, as you [...]
