He graduated in 1995 at the University of Gent as a civil engineer (majoring in Physics). Next, he worked at the same university for 2 more years as a researcher.
In 1997, he joined Cap Gemini as an ICT consultant. In 1999, he was assigned to the newly formed Authorized Java Center1 within the company. He quickly became one of the leading Java experts.
Guy survived the merger of Cap Gemini and Ernst and Young consulting (forming "Cap Gemini Ernst and Young") and stayed with the company as it renamed itself to Capgemini.
In 2006, Guy left the company in order to join PL-2. After a few months, he left that company and founded Iggyland.
