About
Younger, I managed a computer fleet before giving game development a try with Unreal Engine 4. In late 2019, my curiosity led me to self-taught exploration in web development. Despite my independent learning, I enrolled early 2023 in a Le Wagon bootcamp, where I obtained certification as a web designer and developer.
I learned a lot of things along the way: web development, UI/UX design (mobile apps, design systems), project management, devops and more! I’m curious and eager to learn new things.
Web development isn’t my sole passion; I also have a deep love for playing music! I’ve been honing my skills with various instruments for over a decade, including drums, percussion, bass guitar, and even a bit of piano.

Testimonials
Martin Seibert
Seibert Group GmbH CEO
Florian has played a key role in the adoption of Astro as a website technology despite of a strong WordPress followership in our organization: from setting up a solid Astro infrastructure (including GitHub repositories, private NPM packages, and deployment pipelines) to sharing his in-depth knowledge of Astro and its ecosystem. Florian is fast and efficient. A service is always a combination of hours and hourly rate. Florian is worth every cent of budget.

Florian is an absolute pleasure to work with. Despite living on the other side of the world, communication has been great and he’s always been super responsive and eager to help out or give professional advice. Initially brought on to help me maintain a project, he’s improved the website tenfold, and I’ve also learned a lot myself in the process.
