Some notes about my person

Who i am and what i can do for you

I am a frontend developer from Germany with a deeper love for design and usability. With this passion in mind i am creating fast and beautiful web applications and sites. I am trying to learn every week something new to push the boundries of what the web and all the new technologies are able to do.
