Building quiet systems.

Backend developer from NRW — TYPO3, PHP, and the DevOps glue around them. This is where I keep my work, my notes, and the occasional opinion about why the boring choice is usually the right one.

About

I've been at home on the web for a while — working professionally as a web developer since 2018. Most of that time in the unglamorous middle: schemas, editorial workflows, deployment pipelines, and the hundred small choices that decide whether a CMS is a tool or a tax.

My home is TYPO3, but I like to look beyond the horizon: with Astro and Payload CMS I work on headless setups — a different perspective on the same questions, often with surprisingly similar answers. What works well, I learn from. What doesn't work, I learn from even more.

Over time I've led and delivered several larger TYPO3 and web projects — from the first architecture sketch to go-live and beyond. Today I'm responsible for the backend team at a mid-sized agency in Essen. On top of that, I hold a certified trainer qualification, because I believe good backend work and good mentoring need the same foundation: patience, clear structures, and the willingness to explain things twice.

Currently responsible for multiple TYPO3 instances, the associated infrastructure, server management, and everything else that falls in between — and on the side, slowly turning my opinions into writing.
