About
Hello, I’m Philipp. I’m an Austrian software engineer living in the Netherlands. I thrive when collaborating with teams that contribute to large JavaScript applications. I’m a strong advocate for design systems and component-based UI development and, having a background in design, I feel most comfortable at the intersection where design meets engineering.
In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis, gardening, and spending time with friends or my two cats, Kain and Abel.
The moniker “rppld” is my online alias and the name of my consulting business.
