Available for new projects
Hi, I’m Anselm. I fix frontend systems and the teams that ship them.
Web-platform architecture—without framework theater or AI copy-paste. Embedded for accessibility, performance, and the workflows that make the work stick.
I’ve been in the industry since 2004—working with large companies and teams, speaking at events, writing articles and books. Customers and colleagues value my work.
- 19+ Years experience
- 20+ Companies advised
- 10 Years industry newsletter
How I can help
Three ways clients engage me as a freelancer.
Stabilize the Frontend
For teams blocked by accessibility, performance, or architecture debt.
Unblock the Team
For orgs where process or focus is the bottleneck.
Embedded Engineering
For companies that want senior capacity inside the team for a stretch.

How I show up
I work at a human pace—deep focus on the product, calm delivery with the team, and a life outside the screen that keeps the craft sustainable. This short documentary shows how I show up over years: as an engineer, a coach, and a person. Watch if you want a sense of fit before we talk.
Signals of craft
- Workingdraft — German frontend podcast I co-hosted for years
- WDRL — industry newsletter I wrote for a decade (~17k readers)
- Schaufel & Gabel — market garden / CSA since 2019 (on Me)
Writing
- Inside being a freelancer in web development — What hiring me actually feels like from the inside — pace, ownership, and why fractional senior capacity works.
- Built to last — On patience, lasting software, and building businesses that outlive the hype cycle.
- The Responsibility Mindset — Privacy, AI, and why builders owe users more than convenient defaults.
Let’s work together
If your frontend or delivery is stuck—or you want senior capacity inside the team—I’d like to hear about it.
