PORTFOLIO
Web designing has been one of my greatest passions since 1998 after I participated a web design class in the upper comprehensive school. I've taken many roles from content provider to programmer in several projects I've taken part into. I've created sites both on off-the-self platforms and from scratch.
In the first years I created some hobby sites and meanwhile learned the basics of HTML, CSS and other common web technologies. During the years 2003–2006 I adjusted my sites to work in all older browsers, by handheld devices and for the disabled people. Playing with browser hacks and other unusual special cases for a few years trained me to master common web technologies as well as usability and accessability issues. I also learned that by aiming at perfection, you get nothing finished.
The next years I spent on finishing my university studies and on May 2009 I was approved to accomplish my master thesis in a web design company. After that my days were fulfilled with web technologies again. Eventhough I bought my first PHP book in 2002, I was rather inexperienced with programming, when in the startup meeting of my thesis I was told that I'd be working with object-orientered PHP.
For six months I studied ecommerce platform software for the thesis after which I was titled as a full-time programmer, and now on January 2011 I can proudly mention that I've become a rather experienced programmer during the past two years. While working I've got familiar with technologies such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, jQuery, Liana-framework, OOP, MVC, unit testing, XML, SOAP and SCRUM. Besides my full-time job, I read literature of the subject daily, because I want to evolve to an expert of my field.
All the projects I'm currently involved in are listed below. The list was last updated on 25 January 2011.
