I'm a self-taught front-end developer and Google Developer Expert located in Belgium with a passion for UX and Design. After more than a decade working in tech, I decided to start a little blog for documenting my findings about HTML, CSS and JS with an eye on accessibility and UX.
During the day, you can find me working at iO on a variety of projects. There are a lot of environments I'm working in, but nowadays I'm mostly working with React.
