About
I’m a web engineer based in Berlin. I build interfaces that load fast and stay out of the way, and the systems behind them. That ranges from client sites for a fashion label, a restaurant, a tire-safety manufacturer and a gas-equipment shop to CTFLab, a Discord bot I run for CTF challenges. I care about the details: type, spacing, and code that’s easy to change later. Right now I’m learning about system design and LLMs.
