Hey! I’m Anselm
I help teams and companies become more effective and create beautiful, fast and accessible web experiences that humans will love.

I’m in the industry since 2004, spoke at conferences, gave workshops, wrote several articles and books, and helped many companies succeeding with their teams and product.
So yes, I have years of experience with web projects, technologies and teams around the world.

I also have a Market Garden. As a gardener I grow natural, organic vegetables for locals in my area.

Creator of the WDRL Newsletter

I wrote a industry-leading newsletter called WDRL for ten years in which I wrote about the tech industry, our society, design, sustainable businesses and more.

With about 17k subscribers and great reputation it’s seen as one of the key newsletters in the web development industry.

Co-founder of Colloq

I worked on my own startup Colloq for four years, an event management and listing platform that helps you focus on your main work: Organizing and planning your workshops, courses, conferences or meetup. We decided to sunset Colloq in 2021 as we couldn’t find a proper way to make enough revenue for an income from the project.

Nightlybuild Conference

I was creator of the Nightlybuild conference, a nice evening conference all around frontend and UX engineering gathering 250 people. We’ve retired the event in 2018 after four successful events with well-known international speakers.
