About

Most developers can write code. Few can turn business problems into maintainable solutions. That's the difference between being replaceable and being irreplaceable. I teach software design...the one skill that separates good developers from great ones. The skill that gets you promoted, trusted with important projects, and paid what you're actually worth. After almost 2 decades and countless painful lessons, I've learned what most developers never figure out: how to go from problem to well-designed code systematically. No more guessing. No more design paralysis. Just confidence to start building. Ready to stop coding and start building?

About coding

The mission of About Coding is to help developers to build better software. I want to share real and valuable content, show them the importance of software design and how to apply it correctly. This will help developers grow in confidence, allowing them to make better coding decisions and tackle more complex problems. It helps them become more valuable developers

I am building Proof of Concepts mainly using Java and Spring boot, mainly in the field of trace and track. Even though these projects are just proof of concepts, we hold high coding standards, making sure that we deliver something understandable, maintainable and testable.
Furthermore, I investigate IoT technologies and electronics in the field of track and trace. This is very versatile, allowing me get out of my comfort zone (looking into RFID cards, writing C code for small devices, learning about basic electronics).

Mar 2013 – Feb 2015 · 1 yr 11 mos · Waregem

At TVH I maintained some existing applications and learned a 4GL language (Progress). Using that language, I took care of some big data migrations, which I later partially automated by writing a java application together with Spring and Jersey as base for the REST api. The frontend was javascript and AJAX calls to the REST api.
