An active open-source contributor, he has improved front-end projects like a jQuery timepicker and Home Assistant thermostat UI, often focusing on developer experience, code quality and responsive behavior. Equally comfortable in product strategy meetings and debugging runtime issues, he also spends time hacking home automation and balancing work with family life.
