I'm Magalie, a web developer.
I have been working as a developer for over 20 years. Last year, I worked as a contractor in the Retail Experience team to develop an internal campaign planning application for McDonald's. I managed and maintained all the Happy Meal websites in the world. Before that, I worked on the development of McDonald's Project "As Featured in".
I also worked on TopGear, NewScientist, I have helped developers at Intel Corp with their proprietary software, I've worked with SAP's Hybris. My experiences range from large to small projects, dealing with over millions monthly pageviews, A11y, SEO and projectmanagement.

What am I doing now?
What is NowNowNow?
This is a list of what I am doing right now. What I am working and focusing on. I took my inspiration from nownownow.com to create this section. And also: Herman.
I have created a dedicated page "now" where I organize my current activities and projects. Below is merely a snapshot of my current work.
Client facing projects (paid projects):
- ErikKorte.nl - Last stages of refactoring and rebuilding a WordPress site for a Dutch funeral home. Including a custom plugin for creating and managing condolances. See Before: erikkorte.nl and After: Staging - erikkorte.nl
- farbest.com - A custom wordpress plugin to filter ingredients.
Personal projects.
These are running projects that I am working on for myself, for fun, for learning, for experimenting. These are not all paid projects, but they are still important to me.
- Photo Grid Maker - A fun, running side project: A photo grid maker for my Liene Photo Printer. I love this project. I use it every month and I continue to improve it.
- Funfinder732 - Using my learnings with LLM's and AI to create a fun project for helping parents find fun things to do for their children in New Jersey. This is a work in progress.
...and more work can be found in my resume or my linkedin.
