About me

tl;dr Florian van der Galiën, creates stuff with code.

In here I'll let you know who I am, what I do for a living and what inspires me the most.

My name is Florian van der Galiën.

I am a 36-year-old web developer with a focus on Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, Deno, TypeScript, Supabase, and iOS development using Swift. I have a strong foundation in modern web and app development. While I am well-versed in WordPress, I am passionate about building custom solutions that deliver exceptional user experiences.

My 9 to 5

I work at TMT, a mid-sized company based in Bayreuth, Germany, where we provide innovative IT, Internet, and media services. We value a balanced work-life environment, and I enjoy the open and familial atmosphere. My role allows me to stay at the forefront of technology, contributing to our diverse range of services.

As a Full Stack Developer, I constantly strive to bring innovation to my work at TMT. I leverage my expertise in frontend as well as backend technologies to create cutting-edge solutions that push the boundaries of what's inside the box. I'm always exploring new technologies and methodologies, and I'm not afraid to challenge the status quo. My ability to adapt and learn allows me to stay ahead of the curve and bring fresh ideas to the table. Fortunately, thanks to my colleagues and superiors, this is also desired and not only advances the projects, but also me as a developer.

Loving husband, father of two

In my personal life, I am a dedicated husband and a proud father of two wonderful children. My children bring an immense amount of joy and fulfillment to my life, and they are a constant reminder of what truly matters. My family is my source of inspiration and motivation, and they play a significant role in who I am both personally and professionally.

This is how I imagine my kids will be hacking things together when they're older.

My wife, once my best friend, is now my constant companion and the cornerstone of my life. Her support has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. She challenges me, supports me, and inspires me in ways I never thought possible.

Thanks to my family, I am not only a better person, but also a better coder.
