Clients
Attentia, Vlaamse Overheid

Functional analyst at Tobania, part of Sopra Steria, placed with Attentia and later the Flemish government. On Attentia’s employee management app I mapped the processes and wrote the user stories, and for the first time designed the screens myself. It’s where I learned everything that happens before design starts and after it ships, and where I fell for UI design.

What I did

  • Where UI design started for me

    On Attentia's employee management app I designed screens in Figma for the first time, next to the analysis.

    Bert

  • Read the legacy first

    Old SQL databases and API calls, to understand how things worked before deciding how they should.

    Bert

  • Mapped the processes

    BPMN for the flows, UML in Sparx Enterprise Architect for the model.

    Bert

  • Stories developers built from

    Written and refined in Azure DevOps, with a wiki to keep it all findable.

    Bert

  • New modules, same system

    Contract views and new modules inside the existing design system, down to the validations.

    Bert

  • Two ways of working

    Sprints at Attentia, large specification documents for the Flemish government.
