Frontend focus
Malte Budig
Frontend engineer for product teams shipping polished web experiences
Profile
I turn messy product requirements into maintainable interfaces, clear component systems, and dependable user flows. This version emphasizes the React, Next.js, and UI architecture work that shows how I think about frontend quality beyond just shipping screens.
Why this version fits
- React and Next.js delivery in real product teams, not only side projects
- Comfortable with design systems, accessibility, and maintainable component structure
- Strong bridge between product thinking, implementation detail, and polish
