Hello, I’m Pieter Bogaerts I currently work as a front-end developer at a small media company called Merge-Media. About two and a half years ago I graduated from the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences with a bachelor in Communication and Multimedia Design. More about me >
Roombase is a project that was initiated in 2009 during my study.
Tom van Beveren, a friend of mine, was very dissapointed about the existing websites that brought students and landlords together. He started designing a new website as a school assignment. Later on I joined him and together we developed Roombase.

My name is Pieter Bogaerts and I’m an ex communication and multimedia design student. I graduated June 2009 at the University of Applied Sciences of Rotterdam.
During this study I specialized in concept and product development. Which means I like to invent new concepts and I know how to put them on the market.
I love making great designs and make things work on the front-end. Besides my preference for design, typography and web standards I’m stoked about snowboarding and music. I also play field hockey twice a week.
During my study I became experienced with HTML, CSS, Javascript and some PHP. I’m still eager to learn more techniques such as media queries and I’m trying to implement CSS3 already with a little help of CSS3 PIE for IE7.
This site also looks great on tablets and smartphones*. Give it a try!


Same files, other device, other view. Awesome!
*To be honest, I’m still working on this page so for the time being it doesn’t look awesome on a mobile device nor on your computer screen.
