Hiring?
Great! I'd love to provide my passion for front-end development combined with strong communication and management skills to the right company.
I'm also interested to switch into a lead role as I enjoy the project overhead quite a lot. Keeping the big picture in mind while tracking the tasks leading to that runs in my blood. So does defining workflows and standards and ensuring they're being satisfied.
A 100% remote position is non-negotiable. I operate this way since 2015 and it's the best improvement for my health and quality of life. From my office window I can see the fjord, the sun rising above the mountains as well as the Northern Lights and there's no price tag to that.
Everything else can be discussed. Part-time is possible, too.
My current stack:
- HTML.
- CSS, SASS, and TailwindCSS.
- JavaScript.
- TypeScript.
- Astro.
- Vue/Nuxt.
- Deno/Fresh.
- React/Next.
- Penpot.
- Figma.
- Sanity.
- WordPress.
- Storybook.
- GSAP.
- Three.js.
In addition to that I know Python and a little bit of Rust and Go. I'm ultimately aiming at Tauri and Wails for desktop and mobile development.
Take a look at my about page for who I am as both a person and a developer as well as my CV below. I left out some details for privacy and some because of NDAs; I might be able to talk a little bit more about it in an online meeting.
