Benten Vermeersch · Software & web developer
I build the things you see, and the systems you don’t. Full-stack development with thoughtful interfaces, solid foundations, and a little curiosity.
Selected work
Real projects. Different challenges. The same care from the first commit to the last detail.
Outside work
2024 – Present · Hobby project
Lotus Roleplay is a Dutch GTA V roleplay community running on FiveM. I've been on its development team since 2024, writing server-side game logic in Lua and building the in-game interfaces in Svelte on top of MySQL. No client and no deadline — and a live server where a change I push is in front of players the same evening.

Experience
Mar – May 2026 · Internship
Built and launched hondenrassen.club as the developer on the project, from an empty repository to a live site. I owned the whole chain: the content model in ACF, the MySQL structure behind it, a TypeScript and SCSS front end with GSAP motion, RankMath SEO, and automated deploys through GitHub Actions.

About
I'm a full-stack developer based in Beernem, Belgium. Most of my work sits in two ecosystems: ASP.NET Core applications backed by Entity Framework and SQL Server, and WordPress platforms built on ACF and custom PHP.
The parts of the job I care most about don't show up in a screenshot: getting the data model right, keeping business logic out of controllers, making a deploy reproducible. The interface matters too, and I'd rather write my own SCSS and TypeScript than reach for a framework by default.
I finished my Associate Degree in Programming at Howest in Bruges in 2026, after an internship at ESKIDOOS where I took a client project from an empty repository to a live site. I'm now studying for a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science at HOGENT in Ghent.
