Who am I?

I’m a 31-year-old developer with 18 years of programming experience.
I work as a web developer, focusing mainly on backend development. I rarely do frontend work, as you can probably tell by my choice of using a static site generator for this website.

When I’m not working, I spend time with my family—my wife and our two kids. In my free time, I enjoy creating software, designing, and building things.
Lately, I’ve developed a passion for creating and building mechanical keyboards. You can read more about that on my project pages.
My main hobbies are programming, design, 3D-printing, and building stuff.

Technologies

Programming languages: PHP, Go, and sometimes React

Frameworks I use and have used:

  • Pimcore (certified developer)
  • Symfony
  • Laravel
  • WordPress
  • Aroma (in-house platform at a previous employer, used for websites, e-commerce, and auction sites)

My Setup

Daily driver: MacBook Pro 16" with the M4 Pro chip

Keyboards:

  • Custom-modded NOS C350 TKL keyboard with tape mod, foam mod, and Cherry MX Red switches replaced with Razer Green MX (I love tactile and clicky switches)
  • Das Keyboard MacTigr at work (I try not to annoy my coworkers too much with clicky switches)
