Hi, I’m Nils ✌️ — a product-minded engineer bridging design and code to craft intuitive, scalable interfaces.
With 5+ years in startups, R&D, and agency work, I specialize in building thoughtful user interfaces, design systems, and components that are both technically robust and user-focused.
I currently work at
Decipad, where I help build a collaborative editor that blends data and storytelling. Previously, I’ve worked on multi-framework component libraries, real-time editors, and frontend platforms powering localization tools.
