Welcome to my digital space, where I write about one of my passions: building beautiful software that serves users. Beauty in software engineering doesn’t just mean UI aesthetics, but is reflected in the way code is written, structured and organised. Great software is useful, scalable, robust and readable. And great software is beautiful.
In the pursuit of this passion, I wear the following hats:
- Coder
- Tech lead
- Hiring manager
- Product owner
- Software architect
With these hats, partly come the following hammers:
- Agile – primarily Scrum and Kanban
- User Story Mapping and Wireframing
- JavaScript and TypeScript, along with their ecosystems and frameworks
- Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD)
- Open-source Software and Solutions
- Kubernetes and Docker, Cloud Services
With these hammers I usually nail down systems that constitute:
- Web and mobile apps
- Backend APIs and other services
- Browser Extensions
- Enterprise systems (these pay the bills 🤷♂️)
In my spare time I like to read, write, tinker, trek, cycle, roadtrip and travel.
