SSTud.net
	As teacher and being responsible for public relations at the college of 
	higher education (period 2001-2003) I first met David. Together with David 
	I realized an intranet for all students and the staff. Soon I realized 
	David was very reliable. Moreover, when I had a new question or a new 
	feature to implement, he was able to quickly fill in these demands.

Lerarenforum
	In July 2004 I decided to develop a forum for all Flemish teachers. Again 
	David proved to be the best partner to realize this. He was able to 
	construct a forum-environment that was completely as I wanted it to be. 
	Even when times are very busy for him, David still manages to find 
	some time for our projects.

Extra information:
-----------------

	Received two cerfticates of acknowledgement for exceptional efforts. 
	Because of a very active commitment to the school by maintaining 
	the intranet for 3 years, creating the external site and a web application 
	for the school, along with voluntary lectures about new technology.

	I have been involved in technology since I was young, and this is still 
	my driving force every day. Designing and developing assignments and 
	achieving a nice result gives me great satisfaction personally.
