I’m a full-stack webdeveloper, who’s keen on tackling complex problems with any tool that I can get my hands-on.
My core experties lies in UI development but I'm not scared to touch server-side code or CI/CD pipelines even if it comes to that. Consider myself a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none type of person, who is always hungry for knowledge and new challenges.

I was also involved in some architectural discussions, affecting the choice of technologies used.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Create a portable dev environment for the custom WordPress theme with Docker
- Implement a custom, light-weight WordPress theme, using the least amount of plugins and third-party code
- Lot of in-browser design since some details weren't worked out (especially in terms of responsivity) and our designer had limited availability
- Build the UI for the search-application (our backend developer built a basic HTML-only prototype with Alpine.js on which I had to add some design and UI-logic)
- Implement a custom PHP API-client inside the WordPress theme to get some articles directly from a third-party website and display them on of the pages of WordPress

Frontend developer for Major International Construction Company
(Architecture and civil engineering, 50-250 employees)
I've helped to create a worker database to track health and safety certificates and site access for a major construction company. The project was also extended to track construction equipment.
The task was to create a mobile-first, single-page application that foremen and supervisors can use to check the validity of H&S and various other certificates of workers and equipment on a given construction site. As typing in such an environment would be hard, we choose to implement a QR-reader into the application which was used to scan the custom QR-codes printed from the backend system.
Our team consisted of a devOps engineer, a backend developer and myself in the role of frontend developer.
As the client only supplied us with some rudimentary mockups and not too detailed specification, it was largely up to me to figure out the exact UI/UX of the frontend. For this I've used an off-the-shelf UI library (Ant Design) with minimal branding and customization added to it.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Implement the decoupled frontend as a single-page application (Vue.js, Pinia, TypeScript, Vite)
- In-browser-design using Ant Design system
- Connect the frontend to the backend using REST API
- Implement IAM functionality, via token based authentication system
- Implement QR-scanning feature

Full-stack developer for Health-tech provider
HealthHero Germany GmbH
(Pharmaceuticals and medical technology, 10-50 employees)
Fernarzt.com offers scheduling video-consultations and e-prescriptions in Germany.
During my time there I had three main projects:
Improving performance on the client-facing website. The marketing team reported low performance for certain landing pages due to poor WebVital scores. My task was to investigate and improve Time To First Paint, Largest Contenful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and other issues on some highly dynamic (ie. all content was editable and blocks could have a large variety) page-types.
Helping to rebuild the customer facing website from a PHP-based page-by-page application to Next.js using Sanity.io as the CMS. As a part of this effort I was mainly tasked with reimplementing UI components in React + TypeScript. This task also included writting end-to-end tests in Cypress and making sure that components are accessible.
My other big project was to build a new checkout funnel for a new product category. The funnel was built in a separate monorepo using TypeScript + React and was to be installed as a package into the existing application. During this task I've learned a lot about NPM publising process and the toolchain related to modern Javascript apps (Babel, Webpack).
RESPONSIBILITIES- Building new checkout funnel using React + TypeScript
- Building reusable frontend components with React + TypeScript
- Contributing to internal UI library
- Improving SEO and Core Web Vitals
- Mentoring junior developers
- Participate in architectural discussions, mainly around end-to-end testing and accessibility
