Frontend developer. Self-taught artist. Based in Konstanz, Germany. I write code, draw portraits, and occasionally question my life choices — in that order.
ŠKODA dealer and VW, SEAT & CUPRA service partner with over 50 years in Waldshut-Tiengen. I rebuilt the entire platform as part of the Waser Group relaunch — modular WordPress architecture, custom Beaver Builder components, and a dynamic vehicle inventory system. 200+ cars on the lot, one solid site to show them off.
Three floors of motorcycles — Ducati, Yamaha, Honda, MV Agusta, Vespa and more. Part of the unified Waser Group relaunch I led. Same modular system, same clean architecture, dialled in for a different kind of horsepower.
KIA dealer and Peugeot service partner — 30+ years in Waldshut-Tiengen, 12,000 m² of showroom, 250+ vehicles at any given time. Full WordPress rebuild as part of the Waser Group relaunch. Big inventory, clean system to manage it.
Camper van rentals on the Swiss-German border. I transformed a standard WooCommerce setup into a proper rental platform — custom PHP extensions, optimised SQL for booking logic and availability, refined JavaScript for a smoother frontend. Effortless for users, maintainable for the team.
Regional newspaper based in Konstanz with 100,000+ daily readers. Part of the team keeping the digital platform sharp — frontend work, CMS maintenance, and making sure the news actually reaches people the way it should.

SK-ONE.DE ↗ visit project SK ONEThe playground. CSS tricks, weird UI ideas, animations that probably took way too long — all the crazy stuff that never needed to ship anywhere to be worth building.
CODEPEN.IO/ZANAKARZAN ↗ visit project CodePen ExperimentsI picked up a pencil in 2017 expecting a hobby. Ended up with 35+ portraits, two exhibitions, and a stubborn obsession with getting eyes right. No arts degree. Just YouTube, stubbornness, and way too many graphite pencils.

2019
Konstanz, Germany
My first public exhibition — pencil portraits and spatial drawings shown in the foyer of Konstanz's city administration building. Featured in the official city gazette. Made possible with the support of the Integration Commissioner of the City of Konstanz and the Ministry of Social Affairs of Baden-Württemberg.

Refugee Music Art Konstanz
Three evenings at Neuwerk Saal — painting, live sound installations, poetry and film all under one roof. My charcoal works were part of a group exhibition bringing together refugee artists from across Konstanz. One of the most memorable things I've been part of.
2022–2023
Konstanz
A couple of my drawings were displayed at the Wessenbergschule for close to a year. At the end of the run, the school acquired them permanently — funded by a donation from BB-Bank. Having my work become a lasting part of a school feels like the right kind of legacy.
Sept. 27, 2023
Konstanz
Part of the intercultural event "Erzähl mir deine Geschichte!" — an evening where people shared their migration stories in interviews. My portrait works were exhibited alongside. Art and lived experience in the same room — exactly where I want my work to be.
I've been at Media Favoriten GmbH since 2019 — started as an apprentice, stayed because the work never gets boring. These days I'm the developer the team reaches for when something needs to move fast and land clean. My boss and the PM team have a name for it: die geheime Waffe. I'll take it.
My role doesn't sit neatly in one lane. We have Laravel specialists, WordPress folks, fCMS maintainers — and when any of them are out or stretched thin, I step in. That's not a complaint. It's how I've ended up with hands-on experience across the entire stack without ever planning it that way. Curiosity did most of the work.
Lately I've been deep into AI agent work — writing, testing and fine-tuning guidance and skills for GitHub Copilot agents. Things like setting up WordPress from scratch, applying Figma designs via the WordPress customizer, generating Beaver Builder .dat files. There's nothing like it out there for Beaver Builder specifically, so we're building it ourselves. Still in progress — but it's the most interesting problem I've worked on in a while.
AI hasn't replaced how I think. It's sharpened it. Half the time I'm mid-conversation with a model and it throws something out that clicks something loose in my own head — and I end up solving it myself. That's the part I didn't expect.
Whatever lane needs covering, I cover it. Laravel, WordPress, fCMS — I step in, get up to speed fast, and get it done.
Three days. ICML files nobody had heard of. Live election data. Delivered clean, plus extras. Ambiguity is where I do my best work.
I use AI as a thinking partner, not a crutch. It sparks the idea — I build the solution. Faster decisions, sharper output.
Media Favoriten Interaktive Kommunikation GmbH - Konstanz, Germany
Started as an apprentice in 2019, stayed on full-time after qualifying. Now one of the go-to developers on the team — covering fCMS, WordPress, Laravel and whatever else needs covering. The role has grown a lot since day one.
