Brags

December 2022
Reached > 3000 clicks in a month through search engines
In December I received another notification that I've now reached 3.000 clicks. 5 times more than roughly a half year earlier. I'm really happy that my articles are found by so many people. 🤗
May 2022
Reached > 600 clicks in a month through search engines
I've connected my site to Googles Search Console to get more insight how my content is found. In May I received a notification that I've accumulated over 600 clicks through Google alone 😱. When starting to write articles I would have never thought to reach so many people in such short time.
February 2022
Deployed my first serverless function 👨‍💻
Using Cloudflare Workers I deployed two functions to show my last tweet and scrobble on my homepage.
October 2021
Learned the 7-string guitar 🎸
Although 'learned' is a strong word, but after buying my first 7-string I finally found the time to really play with it and get better at it.
August 2021
Learned Eleventy 👨‍💻
In summer 2021 I wanted to rewrite my website and was searching for a new tech stack. I found Eleventy and realized it was a good fit.
May 2021
Rewrote a Vue.js website to AlpineJS 👨‍💻
I replaced Vue.js with AlpineJS for one of our ecommerce clients and realized nearly double the old performance score. I wrote about it here.
August 2020
Got promoted to CTO
Chris was kind enough to put so much trust in me that he gave me the position of CTO. I was able to take on a lot of responsibility and I'm proud of it.
October 2019
Implemented a SAP-to-Shopware-API 👨‍💻
Using Shopware 6 I realized a REST API which communicated orders to a SAP instance. It also could receive things like stock and product information to update the product catalog.
March 2016
Learned Vue.js 👨‍💻
When I started my new job at cäsar gustav, I was introduced to Vue.js. I was so excited to learn it and I build things that would actually ship.
2014
Became a dad 🐣
Not that I had that much to do with the process of the creation, but this the one thing I'm most proud of.
2004
Learned the electric guitar 🎸
Playing guitar is one of maybe 3 hobbies that stayed with me since I started it. I love rock and metal and being able to play some of my favorite songs is a lot of fun.
2002
Created my very first website 👨‍💻
I'm not sure when exactly I used HTML to create a website and make it accessible to the world. I know I used Geocities to host it. What a time.
