I am an experienced software and UX engineer based in Munich with 20 years of professional background creating highly useable web applications focussing on user experience.
I feel most comfortable working on the front-end, using React. My main development language is JavaScript but I also have basic a understanding of php and databases like mySQL.
In my experience, excellent products are created when design, UX and development work as a team players. I encourage design systems and design thinking: learning in fast paced ideation, prototyping and user testing.
I perform best in interdisciplinary teams. I like the agile methodology (although I have also seen it being misunderstood). In communication I always try to look for the most direct way.
New technologies and devices are propagated at a frightening pace. Managing a successful career through technology changes depends on gaining and passing on knowledge. I love to teach and I always need to learn.
