👋 Hi I'm Michael

🌈 I've been a huge fan of open source for my entire career as a software engineer. Looking at code other people created has been and still is an invaluable learning resource for me. I'm also a firm believer in the open web, love web technology (yes, browser stuff), and I'm convinced that user interfaces (also open-source ones) can and should be delightful.

Things I'm working on:

🌱 evcc - using renewable energy We only have one earth, and I don't want my grandkids to have to live on Mars. That's why I've decided to dedicate my skills and time to pushing forward smart use of renewable energy. I'm a core team member of evcc. Our mission is to optimize electric vehicle charging and domestic heating as cost-effective and environmentally friendly as possible. Even for regular people.

🚜 Micro Frontends I've been working on a lot of large-scale e-commerce systems at neuland. Informed by this work, I created micro-frontends.org in 2017 and wrote the first book on this topic, and because I enjoy reading code over reading books, I've also initiated The Tractor Store 2.0, a hands on non-trivial example project to learn about and test micro frontends integration techniques.

🤘 Thanks to GitHub sponsoring for evcc, I've managed to reduce my day job in e-commerce and work more on open-source. Community funding rocks. You can sponsor me directly to accelerate this process.

My goal is to do full-time open-source.

evcc is a large community effort. If you want to push this project forward, consider sponsoring the organization directly.
