Hello, hola, bonjour, guten Tag, Γειά σας, مرحبا!

I write clean, efficient javascript to create robust full stack web applications.

About me

Karsten

Hi, I'm Karsten. I'm a full-stack web developer, hobby linguist, and FOSS enthusiast. I love Linux and JavaScript. When I'm not programming for work you can find me learning more about coding, tinkering with a new project on my Raspberry Pi, learning about a new technology, or studying a foreign language.

            
              function selectCharacter(id) {
                move(id, 'your-character');
                align(id, 'good');
                const $r = $("#options div").detach();
                for (let i = 0; i < $r.length; i++) {
                  $("#enemies").append($r[i]);
                  align($r[i].id, 'evil' );
                }
                $(".char-box").off("click");
                message("choose", id, null, " as your character" );
                attachOpponentHandlers();
              }
            
          

What I do

Websites

I build mobile-responsive, static single and multipage websites with ease using modern web technologies. I have extensive experience with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, and can adapt to whatever CMS you're using. I'm currently building most of the front-end projects I'm working on with React, Svelte, Spectre, and Material UI.

Web Applications

I have proven experience building MERN and LAMP stack applications. I also have experience using and writing custom ORMs for SQL. Although I don't have much technical experience with network security, I'm fascinated by it. My favorite DOS attack is the Slow Lorris.

Open Source

My laptop has been running Linux for the past 6 years now, and there's nothing I love more than trying a new distro or desktop environment. I have experience with Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Kali, Parrot OS, and Raspbian, and have spent years customizing and scripting in these environments.
