Hello, I'm David!
Designer & Developer.

I create and build websites that convey a sense of joy and comfort, inviting the user to return. One part here is the graphical work, but more interesting is the tech stack and its implementation. 

My current tech stack resembles the following: HTML, Tailwind CSSReactSvelteTypeScriptand Astro. As a backend system, I have been using Craft CMS for years now. It's pretty awesome and flexible, and a joy to work with. The development part is essential because I constantly improve my skills and stay up-to-date with new methods and technology. Moreover, it presents an excellent change to the design part.

I'm also managing the website Best Website Gallery, a gallery showcasing the best websites the internet has to offer.

Photography is a hobby, a passion

I got my first camera when I was about 16. This hobby has been with me ever since and has become a passion over the years. Ultimately, it's about the photography, but I'm also fascinated by the technology, and so I've handled a wide variety of cameras over the years. Most of them were Fuji cameras, which brought me a lot of joy for many years. Recently, I've been shooting with a Leica M11-P, M11 Monochrom, and with a Leica MP. It's different, but great!

Bikes. Drinks. Coffee. Cats. Keyboards.

I'm passionate about many things. Besides cycling and tinkering with bikes, these include mechanical keyboards, my two cats, and the occasional good cocktail.

Awards

I'm not a huge fan of earning awards. It's a well-deserved recognition for the project and the team behind it, acknowledging their excellent work. However, it's not my intention when I start a new project to win an award. It's more like the icing on the sweet chocolate cake.
