Outletcity Relaunch

Developed during my time at Outletcity Metzingen, where I took a leading role in technical decision-making and implementation within a small frontend team. I worked closely with UX and content teams, and coordinated with backend and DevOps colleagues on deployment and infrastructure integration.

  • Architectural setup (SSR, CloudFront caching, on-demand page generation, i18n)
  • Prototyping and developing responsive components in close collaboration with UX
  • Implementation of APIs and frontend–backend integrations
  • Technical and strategic advisory to project owners and stakeholders
  • Selection and implementation of Sanity as a headless CMS

Tech: Nuxt, Typescript, Sanity, groqd, React, Tailwind CSS, motion/vue, AWS Lambda, AWS S3

Do You Know JS?

Personal project, built after reading the You Don't Know JS book series by Kyle Simpson. The idea was a multiple-choice quiz app for developers to test their knowledge of advanced, quirky JavaScript concepts. It was also a great opportunity to experiment with Sanity as a data backend, which I had been evaluating at Outletcity Metzingen at the time.

  • Compiling of quiz questions from the books and other sources
  • Content management via Sanity.io
  • Gamified interface with visual animations and audio effects
  • Advanced syntax highlighting with real (CSS-based) dark mode
  • Randomized server-rendered question order on each request, while keeping the site fully statically pre-rendered via edge URL rewrites

Tech: Next.js/React, Typescript, Sanity, groqd, Tailwind CSS, CSS transitions, Vercel
