Web Developer

Hi! I’m a Munich based web/frontend developer with a strong background in computer science and a high understanding of design and modern UI/UX concepts.

Projects

Here’s a small selection of projects I’ve been working on recently, mainly during my employment at the Munich web office funct.

Skills

I believe being able to quickly adapt to new technologies is one of the most valuable skills for developers, especially in the rapidly alternating field of web development.

That being said, I’m always keen on studying new technologies and frameworks to add as much tools to my toolbox as possible.

To name a few, here are some frameworks and technologies I’m currently using in my projects:

Fundamentals
Tooling and High Level
State and data management
Animation

Code Examples

If you’re up for some hands on code or maybe looking for some inspiration for your own projects, I’ve selected some interesting components I’ve been coding recently.

Also the code for this website can be found on GitHub.

Puzzle Slider

Spice up image sliders with some puzzle-style visuals to keep the users interested. Implementation is based around svg clip paths.

Magnetic Dots

Animate dots in a physically convincing and smooth motion. Perfect as a playful spacer. Implementation is based on vector calculations and framer-motion.

Zoom into Text

Create a visually surprising effect on scroll with css mix-blend-mode. Can be used as a storytelling element to support the website flow.
