about

Thanks for visiting my web log and digital playground.
This is the place where I share ideas, code of personal projects, my favorite weblinks, photos and many various other things.
I'm a web developer living in brussels, belgium and passionate about open source world.

The creative process of e-volution is on his way : this is gonna be the homepage for my freelance services (mobile application development for iphone/android and RIA based on PHP).

I'm also the owner of drupaler wich could become in a near future a portal to showcase drupal stuffs.

I'm still employee.

Services that I provide :

  • drupal related services : installation/configuration/custom development/theming
  • convert an existing psd layout into a drupal theme (xhtml beautifully hand coded following standards)
  • data migration from any cms to drupal (yes, you'll enjoy drupal, believe me)

Currently, I'm working hard to get more experience with android and symfony

Feel free to contact me, I'm sure that I can help you to build great web sites.
