Career Profile

I started out in 2010 working as a front-end consultant for international companies and digital agencies where I worked closely together with design teams, product designers and project managers on projects ranging from product simulations to side scrolling games and online applications to video-streaming services.

Right now my focus has moved from front-end development to a fuller stack and I have been working on several projects where I was responsible for designing and developing the backend. My stack of choice is react.js for the front-end, node.js on the back-end and NPM/Webpack.

I am quite active on github and write the occasional technical article on medium
