About
I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer and ProseMirror developer based in Berlin, specializing in React, TypeScript, and the Tiptap and ProseMirror ecosystem. As Tiptap core maintainer since 2022, I lead development of rich text editing tools used by millions of developers worldwide. I maintain open source tools that power editorial experiences across the web, and I write about frontend engineering, open source, and the tools I use.
I'm driven by clean architecture, thoughtful UX, and workflows that make building software more effective. I share the tools and setups I rely on daily.
