Development & Accessibility
About me
Basically I'm "that old guy at the front row".
Back in the nineties I made my first websites using notepad at our local library.
After pursuing a teaching career - and consequently working in logistics for four years -
I decided to pick up my old passion for web and app development and enrolled at Howest to study
New Media and Communication Technology.
I'm now a developer with a high interest in accessibility and with a background in education and history.

Showcase
A small selection of personal projects.
Some are rather silly, others have a more nostalgic value, most have been abandoned.
Allietabs
This is the last remnant of my bachelor thesis Accessibility @ development.
It's a fully accessible tab component which is still being used by the city of Ghent.
Color contrast checker
While developing the city of Ghent styleguide,
I noticed most color contrast checkers only compare two colors at a time.
This proved impractical, we have several color schemes with over a hundred variations...
So I created a contrast checker for entire color palettes.
Put some balls in your CSS
A simple tool to help you play around with background 'balls' in CSS.
I made it to avoid adjusting my own CSS for the nth-time while working on my internship project
mensenmaken.gent
Three.js tutorial
A three.js google cardboard tutorial, created in collaboration with Tijl Bulcaen.

Weunt a lief in Wachtebeke?
Originially a school project and a bit of joke, I presented this site in 2016 during Apps for
Ghent.
I never expected it to gain so much traction!
It's a very simple websites which uses open data to show you which neighbourhood in Ghent has a
surplus of men or women in your age category.
Hence making it more likely to find a date!
The site has been used to showcase open data and to promote future hackathons.
It's one of the reasons I applied for a job at Digipolis Gent.
Boekmap
Another school project, but a more practical one.
I used library data to show books based on destinations.
This allows you to travel without walking out your front door!
(And we all know it's dangerous business, Frodo, going out your front door.)
