Hi there hello

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!

More about me

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!

My interests

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

Things I enjoy making

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

Random stuff about me

  • 😱 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 🙄
