Projects & Work
I like to divide my work into two things: Projects, small (or large) things I do for fun and mostly for myself, and Work, for my own company or company’s that hire me.
Projects
SenCSs supplies sensible styling for all repetetive parts of your CSS, allowing you to focus on actually developing your website’s style.
Grafico is a javascript SVG library with a wide array of graphs and a feature-full API.
Trimage image compressor is a cross-platform GUI front-end to losslessy compress PNG and JPG images.
Lystener shows you the lyrics you’re listening to now and easily lets you share them on Twitter and Facebook by simply selecting them.
Other things:
- F.lux for Ubuntu – Better lightning for your computer
- Gridbuilder.js – draw a canvas grid as a background
- Websites that don’t work without www – a website about my pet-peeve.
- Text-shadow in IE – Jquery plugin
- Context hover – a jQuery powered user experience enhancement
You can find most of my open source things on GitHub
Work
Current work
Fluxility Design
Fluxility is the company I started in 2005 together with Wouter Klein Heerenbrink. We currently are a 4 person kick-ass team of people that work on our own concepts and bootstrapping those with client work. If you need a good professional website or a complicated web applications, Contact us.
Past work
Wakoopa (Interface designer and Front-end developer)
Wakoopa is for software what Last.fm is for music. As a front-end developer and interface designer I was responsible for major overhauls of almost every page. Grafico was born here.
I worked for Wakoopa from September 2008 to January 2010.
Properazzi (User experience design)
Properazzi is a worldwide property search engine. I designed a toned-down website layout with a lot of pleasing detail and solid information architecture. There are a lot of hidden considerations behind this website, since it needs to work in more than one language and for SEO the placement and naming of links was vital as well.
Properazzi was recently completely rebranded to Enormo by an external agency, and so the design I made is not online anymore.
Headline Interactive (Front-end development)
Headline interactive is a website I did the entire front- and backend development (but not the interaction design) for. It makes extensive use of CSS and jQuery to transform a standard html layout into an interactive, horizontally scrolling lightbox-upon-lightbox website.
The blog is fully WordPress powered and the person changer on the homepage uses data from the WordPress database. A lot of cool little bits of code went into building this site.
During my time at Headline Interactive I also developed a WordPress blog for ING and did front-end development for Festival-classique.nl
