Skills

The list below shows an overview of the practical skills that I learned over the years. I'm sure I forgot some of lesser importance, but in general this list summarizes my skills quite well.

Potential employers who are interested can download my curriculum vitae here in Dutch or English. You can hover over most of the skills in the list for more information and a self evaluation of a certain skill.

• Perl Back in the early years of webdevelopment,
   I used perl for small dynamic web content like counters and guestbooks

  so I use it only for formmail and very small website projects that need a quick counter module.
  Very basic coding knowledge, good practical knowledge on how to use and install perl scripts and applications.

  Quite skilled. Experience: studying and using HTML and related technologies since 1998. Very practical knowledge.
• CRM: Wordpress,phpWebsite, Drupal, Joomla Only recently, since 2010, I discovered the joys of creating and managing a website running a good content management system. I've been studying Drupal 6 very actively since and have become very familiar with most well known modules like CCK and Views. I've also gathered quite some experience on theming Drupal sites in a very short time-frame.
