Eric Vanderfeesten was born in the Netherlands and currently is one of the main developers for e107. He has been using e107 for about 4 years and started off as an interested user in content management systems. He soon discovered the overwhelming possibilities for code enhancements to the system and also found a need to create his own plugins for a number of websites. After releasing several plugins he was asked to join the beta test team, for which he contributed ideas to the main developers and delivered fixes and enhancements to the core system. Soon after that period he joined the main developers team of which he has been a member for about two and a half years now.

Although he has been coding for a long time, programming is not his educational skill. He is an architect and working in the architectural domain as his main profession.

Since computer science has been a field of interest to him he has taken this interest into the domain of architectural design and graduated on a project involving generative architecture using a parametric script to produce architectural environments based on favela structures that can be found in Brazil.

Besides his work as a main developer for e107 he is also the chairperson of an architectural foundation 'Eindhovenseschool.net' and has several freelance activities besides his daytime job.
