Developer

I work with startups and small teams to create custom digital experiences and provide technical support.

Stats.

Experience

I have been a full-service creative freelancer for about 4 years, and a Senior Developer at Refokus since 2021.
Most of my work in this time revolved around Webflow sites with a lot of custom functionality and tooling. As a Sr. Dev I help other devs while introducing innovative tech to the team.

Skillset

Dev: HTML, CSS, Javascript (+jQuery, Typescript, Nextjs, Svelte), GSAP, Three.js,
Webflow, SEO, Acessibilty

Background

Since I can remember, I always had a need for a creative outlet. That started as art in many forms, until I found a way to combine problem solving with creative work. Before this field of work I was an artist, a military officer, an engineering student and an architecture student

Teamwork

Like an add-on or plugin of your favorite tools, I blend into your team seamlessly. Your goals are my goals and no part of the process remains unexplained. You will also be getting the technical support you need for knowing limitations and elaborating with clients.

Webflow Development
WordPress Migration
External Integrations
CMS

Enterprise client Webflow site of 30+ pages, with template pages, components for important sections, and migration of 250+ articles.
We also used custom code to fetch job positions from the client's Greenhouse account directly into Webflow.

I worked on this project as the lead developer as part of Refokus Agency, from the building stage to the accessibility, speed optimization and SEO with the help of the client's SEO specialists.

Refokus 2022

Webflow Development
GSAP animations
Three.js
External Integrations
CMS

To sum up the year, I helped Refokus push Webflow's boundaries by implementing complex animations while keeping the performance high.This was challenging as the site features interactive 3D elements, scroll animations, mouse interactions and hover interactions, sometimes all at once!The project was awarded website of the day by CSS Design Awards

Simon Kucher

Three.js
Technical support

In a collaboration between Simon Kucher and Wall Street Journal, they wanted to have an interactive 3D element on their site, without compromising performance. But how do you do that when the model is 150+mb?

I was hired to consult them on the best way to achieve their vision and later implement the solution. In the end, I managed to bring the model down to 178kb with almost no visual downgrades, while also keeping it performant even for mobile devices

Coming Soon

A funky, crazy craft beer brewery that's about to launch early this year. After impressing the client with the branding, I was hired as a creative director of the project, taking responsibility for the company's image, finding creatives for the artwork, and crafting their website.

Experiments

Some times I just wanna build something for the fun of it, or to test new tech. I try to make most of them public!
