About me

I lead engineering and UI/UX teams and have spent 20 years building frontend and full stack products. I mix hands-on IC work with strong engineering leadership. I'm now looking for my next role where I can help teams ship great software.

I live with my family in Paderborn, Germany, where I organize the local JavaScript meetup Paderborn.js. We have a five-year-old daughter who turns every day into an adventure.

I work on open source as both contributor and maintainer. Even though I have degrees in computer science, most of my knowledge today is self-taught. I try to write about things I've learned on this site.

When not dabbling with web and cloud technology or enjoying time with my family, I play video games or listen to music. I have slightly elitist views on beer, love taking family trips to cities and the coasts around Germany, and I've spent most of my adult life trying, with mixed success, to get into a regular exercising habit.
