But what does that mean exactly? It means that I put the design process and the user experience at the center of my work as a developer. In detail, this means:

🎯 User centricity
I try to understand the needs and expectations of the end users and incorporate them into my development. This is how I make sure that the applications are intuitive and easy to use.

Φ Aesthetics and functionality
It is important to me that the solutions developed are not only functional and performant, but also look appealing. I work closely with designers or bring my own design skills to ensure that form and function are in harmony in the final product.

🔄 Iterative development
I follow an iterative development process where I regularly create prototypes, test them and get feedback to continuously improve the product. The result is a product that meets the highest demands.

🤝 Interdisciplinary cooperation
I enjoy working effectively with interdisciplinary teams, whether in design, development or project management. This ensures that the product is both technically feasible and aesthetically pleasing in the end.

🦄 Innovation and creativity
My goal is to develop creative and innovative solutions that stand out from the competition through a unique design and an outstanding user experience. This is not always easy, but experience makes it possible.

In summary, Design-Driven Developer means that I think beyond the purely technical implementation and pay special attention to design and usability. The result is well-thought-out, appealing and user-friendly web applications.
