Hey there and welcome! I'm Marko, a frontend developer, living in Hamburg, Germany.
Web development is my passion, I love it. Coding is fun and exciting. To me, front-end is an art like painting a picture and connecting the dots together.
It's important to be positive, peaceful and to have your health. With the right mindset & hard work anything is possible.
Tools & Mind
I believe that single tools and programming languages don't make great products. Our mind that works them together does.
Developer must always think about the experience the end-user will have. You have to start with customer experience and work backwards to the technology.
It's not enough if the service works, it must also have a great performance, be accessible, simple & easy to use and look great.
Over the years, my code has been used by various companies like Volkswagen, Lufthansa, Rewe, E.ON, Wempe, Yamaha, etc.
As a front-end developer I work closely with back-end developers and designers as well. I believe front-end is really done when it's successfuly merged with back-end. It's all about the final product and teamwork.
As side-projects I like playing around with an open-source projects and third-party APIs. Free idea: an app that builds itself from GitLab repos and debugs self from Stack Overflow answers.
Diversity and inclusion are values critical to the success and future innovations. Best work comes when the workforce reflects the world around us.
Workplace should be a place where people from different backgrounds and experiences come to do their best work–a positive environment where everyone belongs. We must serve everyone with respect and dignity.
Coming to work feeling valued and to be yourself, no matter your background. Then you see good things happen.
Diversity stimulates and generates thinking, questions and ideas. Therefor it's important to mix different people. Diversity is a must-have, not an option.
Share your thoughts & ideas
Opportunity is all around you, you should pay attention and have an opinion.
If you have ideas, express and share them. That's what every company needs. Do the right thing and explain it. Don't do the wrong thing because you’re afraid. Don't do the easy thing just because it’s easier than the right thing.
I believe that every single one of us has something that's good at. Every single one of us has something to offer.
These creatures date back to the time of the dinosaurs, over 200 million years ago!
Amazingly, they can live from 70-80 years.
Nature inspires me.
Learn & ask questions
To continually learn is to be in a constant state of becoming. Be curious, keep growing and moving forward.
Invest in yourself!
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.
Question things in life, ask yourself "Why?" are things the way they are. Everything can be improved.
Coding & Art
I love taking photos with my cell phone.
For me, being a developer isn’t just about writing software. It's a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity and expressing yourself.
I think coding is an art. Creativity is connecting things and the prevailing force in the art of writing software. To have a broad perspective on the problem you need to have diverse and enough experiences, dots to connect to build new things. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better product and design will be.
