Who I am & how I work

I build systems that need to bebuilt right

I'm Cris — a senior fullstack web developer and consultant with over ten years in the field. Born and raised in Austria, with roots in England; English and German are both native languages for me. I specialise in enterprise CMS systems: scaling complex projects and building robust components for enterprise setups — the kind of work that needs someone who can see how everything connects.

Since 2021 that focus has been Storyblok and headless architectures, but I still work across many other CMSs and front- and back-end frameworks — Next.js, Laravel, Statamic, and more — so solutions stay tailored to what you - the client - actually need.

I also work with content teams to make sure the systems I design and build are not only technically sound, but usable for the people who work with them.

Things I do really well

Enterprise CMS consulting & integration — Storyblok, Statamic, and more
Multi-brand & multi-language platforms and editorial workflows
E-commerce & third-party integrations (shops, DAM, APIs, webhooks)
Backends, APIs, and integrations — Laravel, Node, Java / Spring Boot where it fits
Pixel-perfect implementation from Figma with strict brand standards
Design tokens, shared libraries & Storybook-style component workflows

Not my thing

WordPress — I'll happily help you migrate away from it
Visual design from scratch — I implement to spec and care about detail, but I'm not a designer.
