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, the majority of them being Twig or React.
But my real niche will always be semantics and CSS, especially
now, with the ever fast updates in browser support. It's
a great time to be a front-end developer.
Why I care about a Google Developer Expert certificate and Web communities
A few weeks ago, a cool little package was delivered to my home. When I opened it I couldn’t stop smiling, it was a Google Developer Expert certificate to hang on my wall. But why did this make me so happy? Well,... it’s all about being self-thought and believing that communities are important. In this (non-technical) article, I’d like to share some thoughts about communities, what they gave me, what I hope to return, and what scares me.
Animating clip paths on scroll with @property in CSS
While experimenting with CSS, you sometimes discover a technique you want to do more of. This is one of those discoveries for me... I love how we can now animate clip paths on scroll with CSS. From animating an image into a star to creating Polaroid-like images on scroll. In this article, I’d like to demo some techniques we can use to create these interesting effects using clip paths, @property, and even container units to create visually pleasing scroll-driven animations.
One of my hobbies is nature/landscape
photography. When my beautiful baby girl was
born, there wasn't much time to travel the world
and so I started to shoot landscapes in Belgium.
It gave me a sense that nature's beauty can be
closer than you might think.
Most of the images are near my hometown Deinze.
A small city famous for its cycling near the Lys
river. I added some photos on this website as
sort of a "hobby corner". I will update them
from time to time, but you can follow my
Instagram for latest images.
