Description

Creative Technologist // Frontend Engineer based in Berlin

I architect high-performance, accessible web applications and scalable design systems that optimize runtime execution and product longevity. My approach balances structural code discipline with high-fidelity visual precision, ensuring seamless handoffs between design and production engineering.

I partner autonomously with tech startups, product teams, and digital studios to deliver clean, maintainable user interfaces using modern native browser architecture. Operating natively in English and German, I am highly comfortable coordinating across distributed global teams and varied time zones.

Available for contract sprints, technical discovery, and frontend engineering project work.
