Steffest

I'm a web developer. This means I build cool things for the web, mostly in JavaScript
These are some of my personal projects.
Most of them are open source. You can find them on GitHub.

Occasionally I write some ramblings on my blog.
If you have some suggestions or would like to propose a project, feel free to contact me at www@stef.be or @steffest

Archivio Jacono

Archive
Archivio Carlo Jacono

Carlo Jacono was one of the great itallian "pulp" illustrators of the previous century.
I noticed a lot of his online digital legacy was being abandoned, so I stepped in to preserve a digital archive of his work.

DemoScene

The past years, a lot of my projects revolve around "the DemoScene".

The demoscene is where Geeks and Nerds come together to celebrate digital creativity.
We do that by making demos: short media productions that are a combination of graphics, music and code, often using very old retro computers.
The challenge is to push the limits of what these old machines can do and still produce somthing creative with it as a showcase of your technical and artistic skills.

This is a short list of recent releases. Some of them are solo-works, some of them are team efforts.
