This is my personal homepage and blog, where I write about development and work experiences, review interesting books and link to stuff on the web that I enjoy.
I like creating fast websites, traveling with my girlfriend, functional programming, learning new stuff, writing about programming, programming languages and frameworks, and listening to lots of music, mainly Heavy Metal and its subgenres, like Death and Thrash Metal. My current favourite tools to build websites are plain ol’ HTML/CSS, Astro, SvelteKit, TypeScript and/or JavaScript. I also use Python a lot – even though I don’t particulary like it, but sometimes its the best tool for the job. Occasionally I enjoy building stuff with Elixir or Rust or learning Haskell, in order to solve specific problems or build more complex websites. Lately, I’m very interested in DevOps and software architecture patterns as well.
I do freelance contracting and consulting work, and I am always on the lookout for new job and learning opportunities, so if you think I’m the right guy for an interesting job you’ve got in the pipeline, drop me a line.
Why don’t you link your social media accounts?
Because – believe it or not – I don’t have any. Once I did, but over the years It became clear to me that social media isn’t really meant for the dialogue of many, but for the monologues of few. Advertising, inanity and self-proclamation are the bulk of social media nowadays. In my opinion social media is mostly a waste of time and only really boils down to be to the advantage of corporations. I’d rather communicate with family, friends and colleagues directly or via secure channels like Signal, Threema or Telegram. But you’re always welcome to drop me a line via e-mail, if you’re so inclined.
But you do have a GitHub account, don’t you? You’re a developer, after all!
Yes, I have a GitHub account, but I don’t want to link it here, because I prefer GitLab by a vast margin and only use GitHub when I really have to.
