About Me

I'm Alex - a full stack web developer based in Germany. My journey into tech started through education, creativity, and a constant desire to understand how things work.

I've spent years navigating education and personal growth - all of which now inform how I build, collaborate, and communicate in tech.

Today, I build clean, responsive web apps with a strong focus on usability, accessibility, and clear communication. I enjoy turning ideas into polished, functional products that people actually want to use.
