01 / About

Where I'm at — and where I'm heading.

Bio

Front-End Developer based in Sankt Pölten, currently on Erasmus+ at FH St. Pölten. Stack: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind — expanding into full-stack with Node/Express in active development. I take concepts to ship — built it as a player, not just a developer.

Before code, visual design — Photoshop, Illustrator, freelance commissions. That's why I care how interfaces feel, not just how they function.

Technical lead on Subutai — a kinetic chess installation co-created with Viktor Schetinger, exhibited at Lucid Dreams 2026 (~120 visitors, ~50 played it live). Builder first today, creative technologist later.

What shaped how I think about design and product.

Visual Design

Premiere Pro · YouTube

100K+ views — understands how content reaches real audiences, not just how it's built.

Chess

Led Subutai's technical implementation as a chess player — built the move validator from the inside.

Figma

UI Prototyping · Design Handoff

Built several site mockups — comfortable translating design files into code without friction.
