About

As a web developer I love the combination of designing and logical thinking using modern web technologies. Eight years ago I started my journey developing browser apps in bioinformatics. As several years as a fullstack developer, my focus is on frontend developing with React. Furthermore I am growing in thoughtful leadership and creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.

Talks

Sometimes I speak at meetups or conferences on topics that interest me.

Webdevelopment like 15 Years Ago – The new Fullstack Frameworks

Summary: Do you remember your first web projects based on PHP & Co? Back then it was difficult to develop interactive web applications. So we were all happy when the first single-page Applications appeared. But some frameworks are now introducing server-side rendering, which raises questions for many developers. Why is server-side rendering better today then it was back then? Are fullstack frameworks the end of single-page applications? What is the UX like for an application that is rendered on the server? Using React Remix as an example, we want to demonstrate how a full-stack framework works and find out whether server-side rendering is better today than it was 15 years ago.
