I'm Ben.

I live in Belgium & I've been a front-end web-developer since.. 1999 when I built my first 'website' at the age of 14!

It was then I started experimenting with code & entered the beautiful world of html & css. I'm mostly self-taught with the help of the Internet!

My big passion has always been "building websites", I've seen a major shift in web-development over the last years. I've lived through the "revolution" of tables, floats, flexbox,... There's not a day that goes by where I don't discover a really awesome magnificant website, it's then I can't help but right click & start inspecting how it works!

HTML // CSS // JavaScript // PHP // SQL // API's // Visual Studio Code // Gulp // GitHub / GitLab // Sketch // Adobe XD // Photoshop // ...

• Responsive websites (from scratch)
• Wordpress (Theme development)
• Hubspot (Theme development)
• PHP API integrations
• Responsive HTML mails (believe me, it's an art)
• Macarons

• 😱 In my previous job, I used to program in Actionscript 3, building a SaaS appliction in Flex.
• 🔭 I’m currently working for BBC (B2B advertising agency)
• 🌱 I’m currently learning all about PWA's
• ⚡ Fun fact: I'm one of those developers that wishes he had his own portfolio site but is so picky about the design that I just might never happen ;-)
• 😠 What I absolutely hate? Recruiters who think Java & JavaScript are the same thing 🙄
