About
Hi, I'm Stefan 👋.
I currently work as a senior full stack developer at Trenda, where I help advance their product using my expertise in Laravel, Livewire, Tailwind CSS, and Vue.js. My work involves building and maintaining web applications, integrating with various APIs, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions.
Previously, I worked at 2media/CLARK, where I spent my time developing internal tools for marketing and sales teams, maintaining e-commerce platforms, creating JavaScript widgets for clients, and designing campaign landing pages.
Previously I finished my apprenticeship as a general computer scientist, where I worked and ran with other apprenticeship members a little development studio, where we had to find clients, pitch websites, write offers, build the website and handle all the communication around that.
I first began experimenting with code while playing World of Warcraft. The game can be extended with addons written in LUA and I spent many afternoons and evenings reading the code of others and adjusting the code to my liking.
The Warcraft era is over, but I still love to tinker with new languages and frameworks and build software which help me in my everyday life.
When I'm not at the computer I enjoy a ride with my mountain bike, a hike through the Swiss alps or a good book.
I'm also an avid gym-goer, podcast listener and occasional PS4 gamer.
