I believe that less is more and I focus on exploring simple and exciting ways of using technologies. My main focus when developing a website is what the user will see and feel. I like simplicity, consistency and great user experiences.

My name is Julien Decaudin, I currently live in London and work as senior developer for the design agency SAS. Included in my portfolio are the latest and most relevant web projects I worked on during the past few years.

I’m always interested to hear from people that are interested in my expertise and I’m regularly available for part-time freelancing.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Career Stones

Based on the concept of single-page portfolio website, Career Stones aim is to develop a new way to express career paths online.

I've been involved in building the initial template. As the site isn't database-driven yet, I created a modular architecture to allow the edition and the creation of new Career Stones profiles quickly and easily.

This project has been quite unique as I had the opportunity to completely focus in building one single HTML page.

It resulted in developing a clean, user-friendly and fully documented HTML code - ready for regular updates - associated with simple Javascript features as drop-down navigation panels or tabbed module.
