is a passionate Software Engineer, Tech Speaker, Author, and Artist who loves building both complex software systems as well as quick tech prototypes. I believe in the power of the web as a platform to deliver amazing user experiences.
If it runs in a browser or a browser can interact with it, I'll use it!
⚡ Developing highly interactive applications for the modern web
⚡ From small vanilla Javascript demos to highly complex solutions integrating multiple toolchains
⚡ Integration with third party services such as git hosts and cloud infrastructures
Long term projects I am involved with for fun or profit
I wanted to go for a walk, but was bored with my usual tracks. So I build EarthQuest, a random adventure generator that gives you random coordinates you can go to. Early levels are easy, but each time you level up you need to travel farther and explore more remote places.

If you open the dev tools on the page of this article, you will see that the body tag is completely empty. Still there is text on the page. How can this be?
I love to be on stage and share my knowledge in an understandable, memorable and fun way.
