What I worked on

  1. Responsive switch

    When STRATO switched to responsive web design, I designed all of the mobile layouts. The focus was the checkout process.

  2. Components for the shop platform

    Responsive frontends and reusable UI components, built with Bootstrap, Eleventy and Nunjucks, delivered through Imperia and Strapi.

  3. Accessibility in live operation

    Made accessibility a fixed part of the team’s work: checked components, fixed errors and trained colleagues. The Lighthouse accessibility score was between 54 and 67 before and above 90 afterwards (out of 100). Besides Lighthouse we also worked with the WAVE Evaluation Tool.

  4. Collaboration

    Code reviews, onboarding of new team members and close coordination with marketing, product management and development.
