About me
I've always had the greatest fun building things that work well, react quickly, feel great, and look good.
This led me into a long career in web development, a lot on the basis of PHP, Wordpress, and Laravel, with deep knowledge both in the backend and the frontend, from server administration to funnel optimisation.
My second great pillar is design and brand strategy, from interface design to the development of branding manuals and automated content workflows.
A great sense of curiosity and a real interest in the companies, people, and products that I work for help me deliver better results.
I open my mouth and sometimes suggest radically different approaches than what's currently being discussed. Ultimately, though, the decision lies with whoever is paying the bills.
I am known and well regarded for an efficient, always friendly and constructive communication style with colleagues, other freelancers, and clients.
I am very good at communicating with clients and breaking down complex technical issues into accessible jargon-free language, in fluent English as well as in German.
I share knowledge openly. It is a core value. Life is too short, and the world too out of joint, for gatekeeping.
I was one of the top 10 authors on Stack Overflow, the world's leading programming Q&A platform, for more than a decade.
What keeps me up most these days is the concrete application of AI to real workflows and occupations.
