I love creating and building websites
About me
Hello
I'm Alex. An industrial engineer in his late 20s working in web development. I wasn't always a developer. This is my story.
Eggs
That's me preparing scrambled eggs in Yellowstone Park in 2016. Not far from here, I was born a triplet in Denver, Colorado in 1993! There were three single eggs, so I have two wonderful sisters.
Hometown
The hatched eggs did not stay long in the USA. Back in 2006, we moved to Rapperswil-Jona, the most beautiful city on Lake Zurich. I studied industrial engineering there and still live here today and love it.
Work

Hobby
I don't always meet the criteria, but deep down I'm a nerd and I love playing Dungeons & Dragons. A tabletop role-playing game where drama and game mechanics come together.
Balance
For me it is important to have a good work-life balance, and for that I like to watch movies, play video games, read, meet friends and go for walks.

Usability
I have open eyes and ears when it comes to new insights about humans interacting on a screen. For example, after the Zeigarnik effect you can remember best unfini

Simplicity
Minimalistic design is easier to navigate, loads faster and is better scannable.
Fun
I enjoy creating a website, and I hope that is reflected in the design. I build the user a playground where they can click buttons, zoom around, and explore.
