Hi there, I'm Elke! đź‘‹
I'm a frontend developer specializing in React, with a background in Vue,
Angular, and some fullstack work (NodeJS & C#). When I'm not coding,
you'll find me running, enjoying music, taking pictures, or playing
boardgames and tabletop RPGs like Dungeons&Dragons. These days, my
biggest adventure is raising my amazing son with my beautiful wife. On this
blog, I'll share my insights on tech, code snippets, hobbies, and more.
