Mastering HTML, HTML 5, CSS3, JavaScript & jQuery, MySQL, PHP & Zend Framework.

In 2015, I became an iOS developer, I have learned Swift and made 4 apps, 2 of which are made for the new Apple Watch. I had to face the challenges of learning a new operating language in my spare time, figure out the whole iOS deployment system and research the AppStore Analytics. I had ups and down when interacting with the App Store environment. Besides the main programming language and tools requirements, i learned a lot about listening to feedback, testing apps and handling customer complaints.

The most important project I have worked on. ElifeGuardian is a platform for distributing software and services in packages either directly to the end user (by online purchasing of a subscription) or by a reseller network. My most notable assignments based on an Agile development process on this platform were:- Building a PHP framework from scratch, which includes architectures like Model View Controller, Database ORM, Access Resource Control, Templates, HTML Form Generation and more.- Integrating Stripe online payments- Integrating Zendesk customer support- Developing a reseller module and a full-fledged supply chain management- Automatically generating custom Excel reports- Implementing the possibility to add any software for sale on the platform.- Multilanguage support & language/location detection

A scaled down version of ElifeGuardian with which it shares a lot of code. Duringmy work on ElifeBackup, I was in charge of creating the visual identity of the Elife 2013 brand and maintenance throughout the SDLC (Software Development LifeCycle).

Founder, designer and developer of Font Magnet, the best way to steal web fonts! (I had to remove it for obvious reasons).

CSNatural is an online shopping platform for which I wrote the whole front side and the PHP backend code to run it. I integrated advanced features like:- Custom themes: the ability to quickly change themes from the administration module.- Fluid design: adapts to every screen size, using Twitter Bootstrap.- Advanced product management: administration module to add productinformation, pictures and prices/stock.- Product reviews: Five star review system with voting.- Multiple payment solutions, including PayPal Integration and other custome-payments.- Advanced SEO: implemented SEO strategies like subdomain categories, properpage structure etc.

My first truly challenging project was a PowerPoint like app made in Adobe Flex.It was my first team project, in which I had to delegate responsibilities and stay in sync with my teammates. I had to study the whole standard specifications for .DCOM files and implement a custom reader for those kinds of files. In addition, Iwas in charge of the shape drawing and transformation system and layer handling in the application stage in Action Script 3.

During 2009, there was an increasing demand for animated flash banners and custom-made landing pages. I had big clients like Suzuki and VW Belgium each with its special needs and demands. I had to adapt, learn how to communicate with my clients to better find out their needs and meet deadlines. In addition, working with such clients, the need for quality increased.

After finishing high school, I started working as a web developer. I hadcollaborations with clients from around the world and I specialized in Adobe FEB Flash, as it was the most popular developing platform on the web. My projectswere very diverse, ranging from simple web pages to music and video playersfor online media shops. This is a period when I learned many new things, everyproject was knew, untouched territory for me.
