Experience
Cloudfest.com - The World's Number One Cloud Conference
https://www.cloudfest.com/Custom website powered by WordPress with tailor-made themes and plugins. I coded the front end and back end of multiple themes and plugins that allow many editors to correctly and efficiently display their content. This website is very content-rich, and to enable maximum flexibility, I fully customized and rebuilt the front end of a popular page builder so it was possible to use a page builder and have maximum front end performance with zero penalties from bloated code.
This website has its own custom-built GraphQL API that powers a React application to show the huge agenda that spans across multiple days and venues at the same time.

Intrehouse.nl - A Letting, Buying, and Selling Property Franchise
https://interhouse.nl/A complex content-rich website that I rebuilt and extended with new functionalities after brainstorm sessions with the client. The theme and its core property and content management plugins are custom-coded for maximum editor flexibility, long term code stability, and front-end performance.
This project is also connected to a third party CRM that feeds property data into the website. A custom-built Rest API system exposes data to various JavaScript powered UI elements across other satellite websites installed under subdomains.
