What do you do if it's too early to figure out fail2ban and need to stop crude bot attacks?

Liquid Glass is unreadable. Now what?

As Apple unveiled their new direction in design, many fear worse accessibility from bad readability. But what can they do about it?

Can I commission you? Are you open to freelance work?

Well, yes, but it depends on the project. I already develop software for a living at my current job, so any freelance work would take time from my free time so I'm focusing on projects that align with my mission and give me an opportunity to learn new things.

Why do you have so many technologies listed?

It is common knowledge that showcasing too many technologies makes you a "jack of all trades, master of none", that must mean you aren't a professional in any of the listed technologies, right?

Sure, but I've been developing software for quite some time. I started developing my first websites when tables were still the go-to for layouting and development and design have been a constant part of my life. I had to learn everything, from creating concepts to publishing finished projects.

On this portfolio, I only want to highlight technologies I've been working with for quite a while and projects I am proud of. I would say my focus is developing software with a dedicated look at helping people. Any technologies listed on this portfolio helped me with this and I've worked with it for multiple years, shipping multiple projects with it.

You have been developing software since you were 11?

Yup, and it's quite a story. I started working on my first websites when my mother gave me a "How to code in HTML" book because she couldn't understand it. After a few years of working with the essentials (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP) I wanted to become better through various projects and my advanced technical collage education for media technology along with my vocational apprenticeship for media design, I grew to love the world of UI and how it shapes how users interact with your software.

This was also the time where I started learning how to work in a more structured professional team, how to work for a client and how to publish software on a big scale.
