About Me

Frank van Eykelen, 54 years old, born and raised in Alkmaar, Netherlands. Highly motivated creative developer with more than 26 years experience in making accessible user friendly websites.

I work for Reed Business Information in Amsterdam, where I'm in a Scrum team working on Nextens, which offers online cloud software for tax submission and tax returns, as well as an extensive tax knowledge base.

I deploy websites to Microsoft Azure from TFS written in Visual Studio 2015 using ASP.Net, MVC, Razor, C#, SQL, Linq, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, jQuery & Bootstrap, Azure Blob / Table / Queue Storage, advanced routing / rewriting and caching and NuGet.

I recently started blogging on http://blog.vaneykelen.com/.

My stackoverflow reputation as of 2020-04-12 is 1767 (top 21% overall).

I am fluent in Regular Expressions, HTML, CSS, C#, VB, MVC, Razor, XML (including schemas and namespaces), XSLT (including really advanced stuff), JSON, REST API, CSS, SASS, Javascript, jQuery, Bootstrap and English.

Stuff I've recently started working with: PowerShell, Solr, knockout.js, unit tests, LESS and DotLiquid.

Note to recruiters: I've recently joined RBI & I'm really happy there. Just because I'm updating my resume site doesn't mean I'm looking for another job!
