About Me

Frontend-heavy fullstack developer with over 15 years of commercial experience. I work mainly in JavaScript/Typescript und i'm framework agnostic, and I am equally comfortable taking a feature through the backend, the API layer and deployment.

The project I am proudest of was a visually engaging, scalable and fast real-time dashboard for a polling system. Its data visualisation work sparked a lasting interest in chart-building and data representation, and became a turning point in my career.

I have worked in several countries, including Germany, the USA, Australia, Ecuador and Venezuela. Outside of work I am interested in languages and sports: I practise German, enjoy connecting with people from different cultures, and swim.

Skills

Over 15 years across the stack — frontend-heavy, with Vue.js as my tool of choice and a track record of taking features through the API layer and deployment.
