DIXIS bvba is a one-man business, founded by Nathan Van der Auwera in 1997 and located in Antwerp, Belgium.
DIXIS stands for Design and Implementation of compleX Information Systems.
During my professional career i have been involved in the design and implementation of complete/complex systems, mostly being part of a team.
I use the word system, because there exist multiple layers and processes that need to interact, always strongly database-oriented. Communication could be synchronous (RPC) or asynchronous (messaging). Most of the times there was a large legacy system to fit in to.
Lately i have made the logical progression to webdevelopment, but always in a wider scope, interfacing to different applications and/or processes.
