About me

My name is Philipp Walter and I'm a professional web developer from Vienna.
I'm specialized in frontend development but have also been working on the server side for several years now. I like solving complex problems while working with people who are experts in their field.

In the past I have been freelancing, worked with startups and have done agency work which has introduced me to many different workflows (some good, some not so good). I try to keep the big picture in mind while also being able to deep-dive into problems that seem miniscule at first.

I learn something new every day and that has led to my toolbox getting ever larger.
Below is a list of the technologies I currently love to use.

Stack

Frontend

  • TypeScript
  • React & React Native
  • GraphQL
  • CSS-in-JS
  • Webpack

Backend

  • Next.js
  • GraphQL
  • TypeORM
  • PostgreSQL

Tools

  • Docker
  • TravisCI
  • Linux

Design

  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Sketch
  • Invision

Architecture

Depending on project requirements I like to use one of 3 different setups:

  • GatsbyJS for static sites, where SEO is important. These could be a blog or a landing page, or this portfolio site!
  • Next.js for large sites where the data changes a lot. Since Next.js uses Server Side Rendering SEO will not be a problem.
  • Create-React-App (CSR) when I just need to consume an API and SEO is not a factor, like a Dashboard.
