Modern and semantic HTML
Thoughtful use of implicits roles, ARIA attributes and sectioning elements.
I like to use PugJS for pre-processing, when it’s possible.
About me
Presentation
Hello !
My name is Alexis Degryse.
I’m an experienced UI developer ( intégrateur web in french ) and I currently work with INEAT Group (located in Lille, France) as Tech Lead. I’m in charge of technical support of all interface-related topics (semantic, accessibility, ergonomics, SEO, performance, responsive, animation, etc.).
I sometimes do some other stuff like job interviews, teaching and career management.
I’m really into HTML & CSS. Those languages, which are - as I like to say - easy to learn but hard to master, are my daily tools and constitute the main thread of my self-learning.
I do my best to keep my skills updated in order to always provide the most suitable solutions for any project and give best advices about the implications and feasibility of UI ideas.

JV Lorem Ipsum
I've always been a huge fan of video games and everything that comes with it (music, art, press, industry, etc.).
But I rarely get the chance to build cool stuff around this theme, so I had fun doing this retro futuristic videogame-based Lorem Ipsum .
