ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Julian. Gaming sparked my fascination with the digital world early on, and I turned that interest into my profession. I enjoy tackling complex problems and finding solutions that are not only functional, but elegant and efficient.
Professionally I work across the whole stack: Angular apps on GCP, React clients, TypeScript/Node services and the AWS infrastructure underneath. What I like most is the part that's hard to delegate: understanding existing systems, untangling them and building on — without stopping production. On the side I build my own projects, usually because I want to actually understand a technology rather than just having read about it.
