Professional Skills

PHP

Expert, 8 years
I have been using PHP for my whole career: being it Wordpress-based homepages or more complex Web Applications based on symfony2 or Laravel. I gained a lot of experience designing, building and maintaining/refactoring applications in different phases of their lifecycle. Especially with the release of the latest major version PHP 7 and its dramatically increased performance, PHP is a valid choice for building web applications.

Go(lang)

Advanced, 4 years
Being a relatively young language Go(lang), is my tool of choice for high performance REST-/RPC-based APIs or applications that require high concurrent processing. With its ease of maintainability through its strongly typed nature and amazing tooling, Go(lang) has the foundation to also build CLI applications or even server daemons.

Vue.js

Advanced, 4 years
Most of my frontend work for clients is done using Vue.js. These frameworks provide a skeleton for highly performant Single-Page-Applications with realtime interaction by speaking to REST-APIs in the backend.
