Web engineering

Thirty years of software for the web: Nortel in Galway, AOL in Dublin, Liberty Surf in Paris, then the banks (Arkea), Naval Group and manufacturers and local businesses of Brittany. Today I mostly build interactive product configurators and calculators, the 2D and 3D tools that let a customer design a gate, a carport or a fence and leave with a quote.

BreizhVibe

BreizhVibe is my toolkit for vibe-coding tools for associations, festivals, clubs and small businesses. I describe the need, Claude writes the code, and a strict recipe keeps the result simple: PHP, SQLite and one folder you upload by FTP.

How BreizhVibe works

Big data, big content

Some websites are made of content more than code. Since 2004 I have built expertise on content management and copywriting on various traffic earning projects.

• ecoloPop International review of positive news: environment, energy and sustainable development, filed by country and by topic. Since 2004
• Expo-foto Agenda of photo exhibitions, festivals and competitions, posted by the organisers and placed on a map, with courses and photography tutorials. Since 2004

What they keep teaching me goes into every project: model the content before drawing the pages, store facts in fields rather than in prose, and make sure the data can always leave the software that holds it.

Photography

Web design needs real pictures. After years of building sites, I came back to photography the digital way: a good camera, and the result on screen straight away, where film took days to develop. On erwan-foto.com you’ll find portraits of people and places around me, and the exhibitions I take part in, at events that mix visual arts, music and local life, in Locronan, Quimper and beyond.

Music

I started building websites in Galway in 1995, and stayed there for the music: I arrived with a bombard and came back to Brittany with a wooden flute. Find out more about Dour Laouen, a musical project blending influences from Galway sessions and the fest-noz tradition of Kreiz Breizh, the Middle East Brittany.
