Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenny Degezelle is a Rails developer based in Ghent with 18 years of web development experience, having transitioned from PHP and XHTML-era front-end work to a focused Ruby on Rails practice. He maintains and sharpens his Rails expertise day-to-day at Monkey Patch and as a long-time contributor and full-stack maintainer to the Radiant CMS project, where he’s merged features, fixed rendering bugs, and improved admin navigation. As founder of Gorilla Webdesign and a board member of Ghent Web Valley, he combines hands-on coding with small-business and community-building experience. He’s comfortable across the stack—templating, helpers, SEO and CMS internals—and enjoys applying strict markup discipline learned in the XHTML era to robust, maintainable Rails apps. Currently he’s also exploring internet marketing to better align technical work with product growth.
