			As a developer I focus on JavaScript <svg><use xlink:href="#javascript"></use></svg> and the ECMAScript language specification. But emerging technologies in general spark my interest. I like working on the front- and back-end of the web, contribute to and publish my own open source projects on a regular basis. Sharing knowledge and supporting others — this is what the web is really all about for me.

			I am currently working at McKinsey & Company as Senior Digital Analyst, solving all kinds of JavaScript problems.

			I love finding solutions, exploring technologies and sharing what I've learned. Writing has become a fresh way for me to express myself as developer. I am an author on SitePoint and publish articles on my own <a href="/writes">blog</a>.<br>
			It is still a very new territory for me, so I'm happy to get your feedback!
