Selected Work
Personal
projects
DevBoard
A self-hosted developer dashboard for tracking GitHub activity, open pull requests, and CI pipelines — all in one place. Built with Node.js, Express, and a vanilla TypeScript front-end.
CMS Boilerplate
An opinionated Drupal 11 starter kit with pre-configured content types, SCSS design tokens, and automated deployment via GitHub Actions. Cuts setup time for new projects significantly.
QueryKit
A lightweight Java library that provides a fluent API for building type-safe SQL queries. Supports MySQL and PostgreSQL dialects, with zero external runtime dependencies.
Linkboard
An open-source bookmark manager with tagging, full-text search, and a clean Tailwind-powered UI. The REST API is built on ExpressJS with a MySQL backend.
About

scales
I'm a full-stack developer from Ghent, Belgium with a focus on building maintainable, well-structured web applications. I work across the entire stack — from relational database design to interactive front-end interfaces.
My background spans PHP and Drupal CMS development, Java back-end services, and modern JavaScript tooling with Node.js and TypeScript. I care about clean code, sensible architecture, and shipping things that actually work.
