I'm Frank Delporte, living in Passendale (Belgium), software developer/technical lead/writer with more than 25 years of experience in video, multimedia, technical project management, digital signage, and (web) programming. After 10 years working for Televic Rail where I “fell in love” with Java, I moved to Eeve in December 2020 where I used Java for several backend services. Since June 2022 I’m a technical writer at Azul, the world’s only company focused solely on Java.

My current work tools are Java/Git/Atlassian/IntelliJ IDEA/Visual Studio Code, but also use/used ASP.NET, C#, JavaScript, Angular, React, SQL Server, Flex, CSS, HTML5, Eclipse, QT, Python,…

You can hire me for small coding jobs, writing and presenting. See “Books”, “Articles” and “Presentations”.

I’m also the lead coach of the CoderDojo Belgium club in Ieper where we teach children (7-18) programming with Scratch, Arduino, Minecraft, Mindstorms, …

I’m married to Conny and we have a music-playing-son Vik.
