Frank Guthorel

Managing director

Frank's role at Code d'Or
I refer to my work as Technical Project Management, since I'm well aware of the ins and outs of the software written for the projects that we take on. Very often, decisions can be taken on the spot if necessary, making sure that projects advance as quickly as possible. I follow up on quotes, deadlines, project requirements, and make sure everybody understands each other during the course of the assignment. Besides the daily routines for the ongoing projects, I also function as an ad-hoc consultant for several clients, small and large. Clients use me in brainstorms or ask me for proof-of-concepts before next steps are taken. Visit our Interactive Consulting for more info on how you could involve me in your business process, or send me a message.

My field of expertise is web and GUI design for use in interactive applications, mainly with a focus on browsers as the delivery canvas. I'll design the different pages of your application, and make sure your visitors and clients have an interesting experience when the visit your website. I'll start from your briefing and input - but it does not stop there: I'll request more info, require feedback, and I will challenge you and myself to get more out of a page, tweaking details, without losing the overall picture.

Guy Steels

Senior Developer

Guy's role at Code d'Or
Coding, databases and data modelling is what makes my clock tick. I love to spend my days writing code, but I'm also involved in decision making when technology and implementation are concerned. I'm pretty aware of what's going on online and try to follow as much trends, tools and technology news as possible - as it has a direct impact on my day-to-day job. The most fun part of my job? I learn new things every day and you only need a few lines of code to change the world ...

Besides helping out with designing graphics and creating layouts for specific content types and pages, I make sure all aspects of a website function consistently throughout all available platforms. I also take care of content updates on the graphic level and will stand guard over the overall look and feel of a website or online application.

JQuery is turning out to be major point of intrest lately, as well as improving overall Photoshop, JS and CSS skills on a daily basis.

Jonas De Taeye

Developer

Jonas's role at Code d'Or
My main role at first will be checking out the ongoing CakePHP projects, and helping out with new development and setups. Soon enough, if time allows for it, I should be providing structural support for the automation of certain tasks - mainly on the server-side. I'll also be helping out with frontend code if necessary, and prefer to see myself as a jack-of-a-lot-of-trades, with a focus on web development in general.
