Hi, I’m Matze, and this page is about me πŸ‘‹πŸ»

I’m an enthusiastic web developer in an online marketing agency. I work with WordPress every day since 2016 and am responsible for multiple large multisite instances, including creating plugins and themes.

In my free time, I build WordPress plugins, which I publish via my project Epiphyt.

Work

My key responsibilities at work are:

  • Creating and maintaining more than 100 plugins and themes in backend and frontend
  • Managing multiple WordPress multisites
  • Head of accessibility
  • Responsible for privacy-compliant features on our websites
  • Third-level support for websites, domains and emails
  • Third-level support for website tracking

Main projects

At Epiphyt, I solve everyday WordPress problems with my plugins with a keen sense for function and user interaction.

Side projects

(Not so) private information

I’m spending much time with my dog Kiku, a small Shiba Inu lady, mostly outdoors. πŸ•

I regularly do fitness (usually three times per week) at home for 20 – 30 minutes to stay fit and healthy. This includes core training, body building, jogging or cycling. πŸ’ͺ🏻

Skills

Web development is my passion, which I was able to do every day at work. I consider myself a full stack web developer with skills in PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Accessibility, WordPress, WP-CLI and all related web stuff like domains, emails, DNS, etc.

Due to my work as a web host, I also have knowledge in system administration with Linux (Debian), Docker, Postfix, system security and related stuff.

Soft skills

As a former colleague once said: β€žYou’re one of the most efficient persons I’ve ever worked with.β€œ
I love to work efficient, optimize my workflow and I learn very fast. Since I always educated myself, I know exactly how to expand my horizon and I’m always willing to do so.
