Web Pioneer

For me it is a joy to create something, that others will use. Early on, I created forums, chat sites and online textual games for others to enjoy. As they enjoyed playing it, I enjoyed creating it. My talent with web programming was discovered by people around me as I took on some first projects such as Ynstyn and Oriste. Later on, in cooperated with a web designer, we delivered a reservations systems for foreigners for the Dick Bruna Huis. During my time as a PhD student, several sites were created as well including a conference website and simple content updates for the DACS research group. Over the years, many websites have been developed by my hands. Here is a list of interesting projects, I have been working on:
