About

My name is Johannes. I am a full-stack developer with a passion for modern web applications. I have gained experience at both small dynamic startups and big corporations. Although my main focus has mostly been backend development (mainly in PHP), I also have a lot of experience with fronted development (HTML, css, jQuery, React, ...) and server technology (Amazon AWS, Docker, Nginx, Apache, ...).
