Summary
Working in IT for 6 years, I did my first steps in development 15 years ago.
I've always liked to provide some help to solve troubles with IT, to elaborate complex architectures, to develop new products,...
I've been working with Angular/TypeScript for 6 years now and I co-wrote a book about TypeScript language and Angular, React, Vue frameworks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081FB89BL).
I'm experienced in Code rules in JavaScript/TypeScript (linting, architecture, formatting,...), see on GitHub (https://github.com/NationalBankBelgium/code-style). I'm also developing Front-end framework Stark, based on Angular, for the National Bank of Belgium (https://github.com/NationalBankBelgium/stark).
