About me

After coming to Germany for a work and travel stint I not only met my wife and decided to stay, but I also discovered my true passion for web development.

Plain Hands

Previously I had hoped to open my own Japanese restaurant in Europe, but due to allergies this proved to be impossible. Looking for an alternative career I focused on my interest in design and web technologies. When I started coding, it was as if I had been struck by lightning and like coming home. I was impressed by the power of coding and design because I can not only express my ideas on the web, help clients/companies succeed with their web presentation, but also give users WOW experiences.

I graduated from a web development training programme in 2020 and have since worked at different web agencies in Munich. My goal is to win some of awards with a great team and as an indivual. I have a particular passion for utilizing Three.js and GSAP in my work.

Outside of work, I enjoy coding with a nice cup of coffee in the quiet morning!

Hiking

Since I've been living in Munich, I often go to the close mountains and lakes to go hiking or stand up paddling in summer or cross-country skiing in winter. I also love to travel and explore all the beautiful regions of Europe.

I love learning new technologies and developing new skills. Since early 2022 I have been building some simple interactive pages by using Three.js and GSAP which I learnt through online courses in my spare time. Have a look at my experiments.
