About me

Freelance fullstack developer in Germany with 20+ years experience. Specialises in Vue, TypeScript, React, Node.js, WordPress, and Linux server administration.

Experienced Frontend / Fullstack Developer with over 20 years of hands-on experience across Europe and beyond. I specialise in PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, React, and CMS development — WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Decap CMS, Django. Equally at home architecting backends with Node.js and managing Linux servers as I am crafting pixel-perfect frontends.

Since 2005 I have been freelancing across Latvia, Romania, Canada, and Germany while also holding positions at Savings United GmbH (Hamburg), FinanceTec AG and Covomo Versicherungsvergleich GmbH (Frankfurt). Each role added a new dimension — from rebuilding legacy Flash/ActionScript applications in modern Vue to running full-stack platforms on Google Cloud with Fastly CDN.

Outside of development I have a deep interest in computer graphics, 3D Art, and Concept Art, as well as traditional forms of art — drawing, painting, and building. I believe the design sensibility from an arts background directly informs how I approach UI/UX work.
