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 began as a child when I first discovered the internet — a fascinating place that opened a window to the world and offered access to endless knowledge. That initial encounter sparked a never-ending curiosity about design and technology. 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 understand the distinct challenges of each field and to ultimately become an intermediary between the two worlds, fostering collaboration and innovation.

Past roles: Frontend Lead, Senior Frontend Developer, UI Architect, Designer, Founder, Consultant

Principles

  • Keep curious: Delivering state-of-the-art web solutions requires continuous evolution. I invest considerable time in researching and experimenting with new technologies.
  • 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!
  • People and privacy over profits
