The company
Software development with a direct point of contact.
Desvelopment is my independent side business. Its name combines "development" with my surname, De Smet. From that technical foundation, I build websites, applications, integrations and automation that work clearly, are implemented properly and remain maintainable. Clients speak directly with the person building their solution.

The person behind Desvelopment
Hello, I am Elias.
Within Desvelopment, I handle the full process: from the first technical decisions and development through to delivery and follow-up. During the day, I work as a software developer on larger digital products and integrations. I bring that experience to Desvelopment without presenting projects from my main job as work by the company.
Outside work, I have been active with KSA for over 17 years and play badminton two or three times a week, occasionally in a recreational tournament.
Loyal colleague
Meet Cara.
Our permanent employee of the month likes to keep my feet warm under the desk while I develop.

Professional experience
Experience gained outside Desvelopment.
I worked on the projects below as part of my main job. They are not part of the Desvelopment portfolio, but they demonstrate the technical experience I bring as a developer. Client and employer names are deliberately omitted.
