Summary

Hello! My name is Nico, and my passion is programming – a world where I can fully unleash my creativity and technical skills.

Current Role: Freelance Fullstack Engineer

Frontend Development: Mastering NextJS and Nuxt I love server-side rendering and the performance that comes with it. That's why in recent years I have specialized in NextJS/React and NuxtJS/VueJS + TypeScript, frameworks known for ultimate flexibility and outstanding SEO benefits. This expertise lets me create innovative and powerful frontend solutions.

Backend Development: Tailored Solutions My backend work is guided by my clients' individual needs. For simpler backends, like managing images and text, I prefer tools like Contentful or Strapi, which provide fast and customizable API solutions.

When building more complex applications, I focus on creating custom APIs, mainly using AWS technologies like Lambda, S3, SQS, RDS, and Elastic Beanstalk. While I have used ExpressJS in the past and also have experience with Ruby on Rails, I now mainly prefer AWS for my backend applications and APIs.

Hosting: Flexible and Efficient Solutions Hosting is always tailored to the specific needs of the project. For simple sites with static data, I often use Jamstack hosting like Netlify or Vercel, and for more demanding projects, I turn to DigitalOcean or AWS.

Always up to date I keep learning to always use the latest technologies. I love TypeScript and the security it brings to development.
