Work

I am passionate about building digital products. I specialize in UI/UX coding, integrating front-end and back-end systems, and optimising performance and accessibility (a11y) with respect and responsibility.
My expertise includes framework-agnostic approaches, complemented by a background in DevOps, HTML5, CSS, ES6, and various CMS, with a particular love for KirbyCMS.
I believe in the power of simple web standards with some progressive enhancements. I utilize GIT for version control and follow Agile methodologies to ensure collaboration and continuous improvement. “You build it, you run it” — I am committed to society. 𓁙

<p>The website discusses the concept of being different and the challenges faced by those perceived as different in various contexts. It contrasts the acceptance of diversity in democratic societies with the harsh repression in authoritarian regimes, focusing on the Soviet Union. The narrative describes how dissenters in the Soviet Union were persecuted, isolated, and even killed for their differences. Despite this, many resisted, driven by a sense of human dignity and social responsibility. The special feature Being Different – Dissent in the Soviet Union by dekoder examines the history of resistance in the Soviet Union, highlighting the cultural and social efforts to challenge the authoritarian regime and the impact of these actions.<br><br>The frontend development for Dekoder was a collaborative solo project executed alongside Developer Daniel Marcus from Dekoder. The project was led by Zoff Berlin, with illustrations by Anna Che and animations by Philipp Yarin, supported by Victoria Spiryagina. This project utilized a range of modern web development technologies and methodologies to deliver a sophisticated and user-centric website.</p><p>Guided by agile methodologies, the project followed an iterative development process, allowing for continuous improvement and effective collaboration among the team. The implementation of Atomic Design principles was central to the project, facilitating the creation of a modular and reusable component library that ensured consistency and scalability across the website.</p><p>The tech stack included HTML5 for content structure, React for building dynamic user interfaces, and Gatsby as the framework to create a fast and optimized static site. TailwindCSS was employed for styling, providing a utility-first, responsive design system that streamlined the CSS development process. SASS was used as a CSS preprocessor to enhance styling capabilities.</p><p>The project also utilized Node.js, npm, and nvm to manage development dependencies and workflows efficiently. Webpack was employed for module bundling and asset optimization, while a styleguide ensured consistent design and implementation across all components.</p><p>API integration was a key aspect of the project, with RESTful APIs facilitating seamless data exchange between the frontend and backend. The use of components and a robust framework ensured that the website was maintainable and scalable.</p><p>The final deliverables for Dekoder included a fully functional, responsive, and visually appealing website. The collaboration between developers, designers, and animators, coupled with the use of modern web technologies, resulted in a user-centric platform that effectively meets the needs of its audience. The project showcases a commitment to high-quality digital craftsmanship, built with respect and responsibility.</p>

Lila Management/ W.A.F. gmbh — W.A.F. GmbH 2020

More than 23.000 people lost their life in the Central Mediterranean Sea since 2014. It remains one of the world’s deadliest borders.

The crew of the Iuventa was conducting Search and Rescue operations during 2016 and 2017, until the ship was confiscated by Italian authorities on 2nd August 2017. Part of the crew, along with other NGOs, has been under investigation for aiding and abetting illegal migration. For 6 out of 10 defendants, the case was closed in March 2021. Against the remaining four crew members, the proceedings were opened.

The first preliminary hearing had taken place on the 21th May 2022 in Trapani. Over a number of hearings and over a course of months, the judge will decide whether the trial is continued or dismissed.
