about pierre spring
I'm Pierre, a full stack web developer with over 20 years of experience, based in Zurich, Switzerland. I specialize in TypeScript and care deeply about clean, maintainable code — which I believe is a side-effect of continuously evolving and adapting the development process through code reviews, pair programming, and automated testing.
