Mathieu De Keyzer's face

Web Team Leader & Web Project Manager

About Me

After 17 years in software development and more specifically in PHP development, frontend development and distributed architectures; I never been scared to think out of the box and consider other options. In order to re-focalize the development effort on the real business needs and so improve the product quality and the user experience. I usually promote the use of libraries, toolboxes or frameworks to speed up the development efforts. Even if I started my own OpenSource CMS project.

People see me as someone of:

  • ready to make and assume decision & collaboration oriented
  • very pragmatic & intuitive
  • having a great learning capacity & creative

Willing to invest myself in ambitious projects inside of a motivated team, I m always looking for innovative and elegant solution. Seeing the software development as an all, I’m comfortable in all steps: planning, needs, architecture, development and deployment. I’m also convinced that only a collaboration of the full team guaranties the motivation and the investment of everyone (Agile & DevOps).
