Swiss-born, Tokyo-based Full-Stack Software Engineer

Building digital experiences with modern technologies and a passion for clean code.

About Me

Hi, my name is David. I'm a full-stack engineer originally from πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­, based in Tokyo πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅.

I am passionate about building products that make people's lives better, that's why I'm interested in the intersection of technology and society, and how we can use technology to make the world a better place. 🌐

I am an autodidact, and I love learning new things. I do have a strong work ethic, but I also believe that it's important to take time to relax and recharge. πŸƒ

I'm currently working at WeWork Japan, where I'm building API's among other things. In my free time, I'm working on Offskip (WIP), a web app that helps people find (co)working spaces more efficiently.

Besides that, I am also co-founder of the Laravel Japan Group and organizer/MC of the PHPΓ—Tokyo meetups.
