• I am a Frontend Software Architect for web applications and whole platforms working at Festo SE & Co. KG, the leader in pneumatic and electric industrial automation technology.

• Besides my daily work, I am a member of the "ByteDance Inc. Innovator Program" where I contribute to open source technologies like Module Federation, Modern.js, Rslib and Rspress although, my main role is to represent these technologies as an advocate in the public and social-media.

• In my free time, I try to spend as much time as possible off-screen to keep a consistent productivity level and mental balance. You will most likely find me:

  • Trail-running or hiking in the mountains or woods
  • Alpine skiing on groomers
  • Reading a good book
  • Exploring nature and other cultures with my girlfriend
  • Express creativity through cooking

• If I carve out some time for private coding, it is mostly research related or fiddling around with my neovim-config

• Technical transformation of large-scale omni-channel monolithic frontends towards decomposable Module Federation based micro frontend architectures,

• Orchestration and maintenance of security and system resilince as well as robust communication interfaces and channels within micro frontend architectures and their interfaces between a large number of host and remote systems.

• Maintenance and ownership of Coding & Onboarding Guidelines as well as micro-frontend related Governance & Compliance documents.

• Mentorship, technical sparring and consulting for development teams on advanced tech-stack or infrastructure topics.

• Technical consultant for - and "glue" - between business owners, stakeholders, design departments and technical departments.

Yes, I learned frontend when jQuery was the GOAT! Having a solid foundation on classic technology without abstraction layers is mandatory to actually understand any advanced framework or toolkit (looking at you React and Tailwind).

       

Advanced tools I work with for modern web application development with a focus on first level citizen products for micro frontend architectures.

   

It is my daily business to adapt, maintain and modernize/migrate bundlers to keep pipeline performance, frontend infrastructure and developer experience on a peak level. This also includes writing custom Rspack plugins (Rust bundler following the amazing API architecture philosophy of Webpack)

     

I am not a DevOps specialist but I am familiar configuring my own docker-compose files, gitlab pipelines and reverse-proxy rules on my own.

 

Additional tech I like to use to keep the work rolling.

I love to play around with Generative Art and 3D on the web. It's just a cool creative process and a nice chance for me to apply knowledge of my Interaction Design and 3D Environemnt Art past to the web world.
