I have experience in design of over five years and am glad to announce that I have learned much from it. I have uniquely varying experiences from different roles. That makes me flexible. My personality motivates me to constantly push the boundaries of what I can do. I often test new approaches, I dive deep into data and details and so constantly improve my knowledge of what works and what doesn't. I hope that after the next 5 years I'll look at my current work just as I look at my starting projects right now.
I monitor the trends in the field, but take them with decently large grain of salt. I believe that the uniqueness of my clients is what will enable the optimal solution.
I have not officially studied development, but my personal interest and practical experience prove my capability with certain web frameworks. As a web dev I am thorough, plan ahead and won't give up until the result satisfies quite pedantic me.
If there is no use for my technical skills other than being able to communicate with developers and valuating the difficulty of different tasks, am fine with that, too.
Planning has been my norm since I went to school. At first using diaries and notebooks, now mostly Obsidian. I plan and note everything with it starting from my daily personal life and finishing with doing my bookkeeping. Of course between those two I fit detailed notes about clients, their projects, preferences, needs and everything else important.
My interest towards self-hosting and open source solutions has helped me create a comprehensive system that is designed with my personal needs and preferences in mind. It does not compromise on comfort and accessibility. I am a type of person who doesn't accept a lacking solution and rather puts his shoulder to the wheel and finds a better one. That also applies to my client work.

I have been playing saxophone for as long as I remember. I even tried to become an interpret, but my introverted self didn't really like the stage. Now I just have fun playing in orchestras and a small-time band with friends. Of course I also listen to lot's of music and have a personal library of thousands of FLACs that I listen to on my Sennheiser cans.
I read or listen to books whenever I can. My favourite genre is fantasy, but I also can't say no to more practical books on fields that interest me. Books are such a treasuretrove of information and much smarter way of spending time than getting angry on social media.
I have always liked extreme sports. They are exhilerating! I have done parachuting, penji-jumping and mountain climbing, but snowboarding is something I always come back to. My favourite right now is having fun in parks and hitting features, but maybe it's just because I haven't had a change to visit a proper backcountry range yet?
I like to nerd over small details in pretty much anything I do and coffee is a great outlet. There is so much experimenting you can do to get the cup just right and the result brightens just about any day!
I value my privacy and believe strongly in digital sovereignity. It's also very helpful in my professional life. I host almost every digital tool I use for my personal life and my freelance stuff myself. In the future I dream of creating a smart home where everything is set up just the way I want without relying on any third parties.
Growing up in the middle of nature has ingrained a deep love for it in me. I go to the woods or swamps to relax and reflect. Makes me appreciate all the homely comforts.
