About Me

["Developer", "Designer", "Dad"].sort()

I am currently a team lead at Pax. My ambition is to transform the product development process in order to create outstanding digital experiences for our customers. My journey started as a kid, when I discovered the internet for the first time - this crazy place that offered me a window into the world and access to infinite knowledge. This first contact instilled in me a never-ending curiosity about design and tech. To create unique experiences on a screen - that's what motivated me to build 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: Frontend Lead, Senior Frontend Developer, UI Architect, Designer, Founder, Consultant

Principles

• Keep curious: To deliver state-of-the-art web solutions, one needs to be evolving constantly. I dedicate a decent amount of time researching and experimenting with new technology.
• Be a minimalist: Less, but better, Work smart, not hard, Don't repeat yourself, Form follows function - There are many quotes that circumscribe what I call being a minimalist.
• Open source: For obvious reasons. For me personally, the strongest argument is the idea of shared knowledge — the ability to learn from others.
• Accessibility: The web is a great place; let everyone participate!
