I build fast, accessible, SEO-friendly websites — focusing on clean HTML, CSS, and performance.

Yep, that's me (a couple of years ago...)

Frontend Developer

About

Most companies look for full-stack developers or framework specialists. But what often gets overlooked is the foundation: HTML, CSS, accessibility, and performance.

A full-stack developer is like a general contractor who can handle plumbing, electricity, and carpentry — but when you need a complex electrical system, you’d rather hire a certified electrician.
That’s where I come in.
I focus on the frontend essentials that make websites fast, accessible, and future-proof.

  • Sustainable frontend builds

Articles

I like to write about the things I’ve broken, fixed, and learned while building websites.
Most of my discoveries start with curiosity — or with something not working as expected.

These articles are simply my way of sharing what I wish I’d known earlier.
No buzzwords, no fluff — just practical lessons from real projects.

The list is still short, but it’s growing one experiment at a time

Do you do <framework x>?

After 25 years in development, I learn new tools quickly.
With this website I'm exploring Astro for instance.

I’ve worked a bit with frameworks like React, Next, and Angular, as well as languages such as PHP, Python, and C#.
But my real strength lies in the fundamentals: building fast, accessible, and SEO-friendly frontends using HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

If you’re looking for a React or full-stack developer, I might not be your best fit. But if you need clean, performant, and inclusive frontend code — I can help.
