#introduction since I moved instances 
I'm a software developer from South Germany. I hack with @activenode occasionally and organize the #WebDevBBQ in Stuttgart (there is big news upcoming btw :)) with him.
Currently learning #Rust (with a focus on #WASM), working with #Gatsby, and #NextJS.
I want to do many things but am hindered by a very small needy human in my building. And a somewhat taller needy human. And a needy dog.
Ask me about #archery, #chess, #WebPerformance, #keyboards.
