Summary

I'm Ingo Steinke, a front-end focused web developer with over 20 years of professional experience. When developing elegant and easy-to-use websites, I pay attention to accessibility, loading speed and maintainability. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript and PHP are among my favourite technologies.

I'm pragmatic, communicative and enjoy working closely with web designers.

Worldwide communication and inspiration: The World Wide Web connects people using robust and decentralized technology. Websites designed to offer everyone access to this network must be attractive, fast, and accessible. This vision shapes my work.

From 2019 to 2021, I co-hosted the Cologne Web Performance meetup. Currently, I am a member of Impact Hub Berlin and Fairantwortung. I actively participate in professional discussions and write blog posts about technological topics.

  • Core Web Vitals: Web Performance and Usability
  • Performance Optimization without Changing Code
  • HSTS: Increasing Security without Losing Performance
  • Infrastructure for Improved Web Performance (German)

Digitalisation primarily stands for technological progress. The economic benefits of sustainable innovation have often been overlooked. I like to support ethical and ecological projects, for example the transition in the transport sector, renewable energies, and environmentally-friendly fashion. Thanks to my experience, we can elegantly comply with legal requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation or the European Accessibility Act.
