The era of the desktop web is over. The era of the mobile web will end soon. The embedded web era will come. Digital products in the web have to be designed and developed for the best user experience. That's what I do.

The era of the desktop web is over. The era of the mobile web will end soon. The embedded web era will come. Digital products in the web have to be designed and developed for the best user experience. That's what I do.
I build websites in terms of the look and feel and how users will interact with them across all common browsers and devices. I love to code, no matter if the project is organized in a big monolith or in tiny micro-frontends.
Frameworks are there for organizing our minds, not our code. My focus is on both the developer & designer experience (DX) and the user experience (UX) to create the best user interfaces (UI) possible.
