๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi there,

my name is Tobias Deekens. I like to design and build software for the web. I currently work at commercetools as a Principal Engineer on the Composable Commerce Team focussing on Frontend Architecture.

Answers come from Tobias's CV, bookshelf, blogroll, and writing. Replies stream live and may be wrong.

You can also find me on:

If you want to learn more about my work please head to my curriculum vitae. Given you're here for nonserious matters you can check out a bookshelf, browse a blogroll, listen to some music in my jukebox or enjoy some hopefully entertaining nonsense. If you are enjoying cooking I made some mediocre fotos of things I cooked in my cooking diary.
