Bio
Vermeyen Maarten
Pierre is a very capable dev with giant amount of knowledge about Drupal. His nice personality, his "big Drupal project" experience and taking on responsibility over the project he is working on makes him a perfect developer to have on your team.
Bart Van Den Kieboom
During his stay at K Company Pierre was a tremendous asset to the IT-team. His knowledge and vision on how a programmer should do his job really helped the team and gave us the possibility to do some awesome projects. I would like to endorse Pierre especially for his human side. He has a strong sense of what is right and is also able to defend his way of thinking with clear reason. That really helped us to take some good decisions for the IT department and I'm sure we will benefit from that in the coming years. If it wouldn't be clear yet from his resumé...he kicks ass in Drupal! I wish Pierre a lot of success with his future endeavors in Canada, they are quite lucky to have you over there :-).
