About Me
["Developer", "Designer", "Dad"].sort()
I never followed a career path, but a never-ending curiosity around design and tech. To create unique experiences on a screen - that's what motivates me since the beginning in '99, when I built my first website in high school. It's the reason I taught myself coding, it's what inspired me to study art and design. Over the years, I tried to evenly split my attention between design and code - it became my mission to grow in both areas, to understand the unique challenges of each of those fields, and to ultimately become an intermediary between the two worlds.
Past roles: Senior Frontend Developer, UI Architect, Designer, Founder, Consultant
Request CVPrinciples
- Keep curious: To deliver state of the art solutions one needs to be evolving constantly. I dedicate a decent amount of time researching and experimenting with new technology.
- Be a minimalist:
Do more, with less
,Work smart, not hard
,Don't repeat yourself
,Form follows function
- There are many quotes that circumscribe what I call being a minimalist. - Microservice architecture: In a fast-moving environment like the web, big monolithic applications are expensive to setup, hard to maintain and almost impossible to scale. The answer: Smaller encapsulated backend services (SaaS, Lambda) that offer flexible APIs, in combination with independent clients that can be built using JAMStack architecture.
- Open source: For obvious reasons. For me personally, the strongest argument is the idea of shared knowledge, the ability to learn from others.
- Accessibility: Shouldn't be a luxury. The web is a great place - let everyone participate.
