## About
Toon is the technical founding pillar of the Ghent (https://techwiki.ai/cities/ghent/llms.txt) mafia. While Lorenz became the more visible public face, Toon's platform engineering made Netlog (https://techwiki.ai/companies/netlog/llms.txt) operationally possible at scale before cloud infrastructure was commonplace. He also co-founded Opus Labs (https://techwiki.ai/companies/opus-labs/llms.txt), the Ghent (https://techwiki.ai/cities/ghent/llms.txt) product studio behind the Delta (https://techwiki.ai/companies/delta-app/llms.txt) crypto tracker acquired by eToro in 2019, and StarApps (https://techwiki.ai/companies/starapps/llms.txt), the venture builder co-founded with Lorenz Bogaert (https://techwiki.ai/people/lorenz-bogaert/llms.txt) and Nicolas Van Eenaeme (https://techwiki.ai/people/nicolas-van-eenaeme/llms.txt). His continued engagement with Pitchdrive (https://techwiki.ai/investors/pitchdrive/llms.txt) as Board Advisor keeps him connected to the institutional layer of the ecosystem.
