About Me

H! I am Florian Scherf from Hildesheim in Germany. I was born in 94 and I work as a full stack web developer since 2013.

I do most of my work in Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript, and I have some experience with C, C++, PHP, and Rust. I have much experience with unit and end-to-end testing using browser tests, CI and CD.

In my career, I created and maintained multiple web-based services, like accounting solutions, web shops, or a web-based interface for a company wide phone-system.
I also maintained multiple open-source projects like Flamingo.
I implemented multiple copyright web designs, collaborating with one or multiple designers, at this point, using technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and Sass.
At all companies I worked at, I created internal tooling and libraries, and tried to push my open-source-shaped mindset of sharing code and working together.

In my spare time, I created Lona, a web framework for responsive web apps that are written in pure Python, and rlpython a simple and easy-to-use Python REPL that can run over Network.
Currently, I am working on LimePress, which renders this very homepage, and is planned as the new documentation framework for https://lona-web.org.

I am very passionate about open-source, web, and good tooling. I would describe myself as a platform developer since most of my projects are frameworks meant to enable others to create useful tools.
