Why not so typical? I'll tell ya!
The quick version is that Iām a frontend developer who used to be a backender. I know. Weird, right?
I worked as a Java developer for almost eight years after which I decided that I wanted to do something more UX-driven.

What did it lead to...
Having worked as a backender and frontender has left me with a āspecific set of skillsā. Ranging from Java backend application development to frontend UIās with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

The fruits of my labor
Using the skills Iāve acquired over the years Iāve created a lot of web-based software and websites.
These are created keeping user experience in mind whilst not losing the goal of the website.

Giving back to the community
In the little free time I have left I create JavaScript packages that can be used by anyone, free of charge.
These packages provide encapsulated functionality to make life easier for other developers so they donāt have to reinvent the wheel every time.

My experiences
When building new things (at least new to me) I’ve started writing down my experiences with it. Most of these will be how-to’s on building specific functionalities or website parts ranging from Divi components to HTML, CSS or JavaScript challenges.
