About me

Hi there I am Theo! Your friendly neighborhood web dev from Hamburg, Germany. Well actually I am originally from Serbia and Hungary. Since I had the luck growing up speaking multiple languages and spent most of my time on the computer, I figured why not learn programming. So here we are, improving the web, site by site. I love everything computer related, the less I understand and can make out of it initially, the better. In my free time, I enjoy fixing and improving actual real world stuff, be it cars, bikes, electronics or just overall handy stuff in the household, beyond the virtual world we know so well. I like to take things with humor.

I am very passionate about performance and loading speed in the web. More so the impact of it on real users and in return the benefits for the website itself. Good performance, especially good scores in Googles Core Web Vitals are inevitable to having a contemporary website. Let me help you reach your goals, through my 4+ years of experience in this topic.
