{RIA Developer}

About me

I started my professional life as a developer started writing Powerbuilder applications in the late nineties. After that I entered the world of Object Oriented programming of Java and .NET. Currently I am working as a RIA developer at Nascom. We create RIA applications mainly using Adobe Flash and Flex, but we are also closely following Microsoft Silverlight. In a nutshell you can say that I am a Flexible developer with broad interests in new emerging technologies.

When I am not working I like traveling, snowboarding, mountain-biking and driving with my Vespa PX125. Lately I have also become the proud father of Robbe. Together with my girlfriend (who did an excellent jab on the design) we created the birth cards and the accompaniing website.

I’ve been working on a lot of projects in my career. Below you can find a small summary of some of the projects I worked on.

Benny’s Bus Stop

This is my first Silverlight 2 application build as a research project for Nascom. You can read more about it on the page.

Airbob

Airbob stands for Better Overview on Builds and is a small research project to investigate the new Adobe AIR technology. The application was developed using Flex3.

The application can be used to monitor a Cruise Control build server. There are other existing 3rd party tools available that in some way interface with the server. Tools like CCTray and JCCTray can be used to monitor the build status of the projects.

The project is hosted on Google Code where you can download the source code.

Nascom ASLib

The Nascom ASLib is a group effort by nascom flash team to:

  • Improve the quality of internally written code by pulling the skirt up to the entire world!
  • Improve the consistency of projects by using the same growing library.
  • Have public access to our code and working environments for collaborators and external projects done by nascom employees.
  • Provide a business card of code. Also enable developers to link directly to their code from blogs etc.

The project is hosted on Google Code.

VlaaiVis

VlaaiVis is a visualisation tool originally developed for multifactorial structure activity relationship (SAR) data. The tool was developed as a Microsoft Windows application at J&J PRD in Beerse, Belgium. Read more here.
