Profile Stephan Zavodny
About me
My Name is Stephan Zavodny. I’m a Frontend-Enthusiast, Frontend-Thinker and currently employed as a Senior Frontend Developer at finstreet in Münster. For more than 25 years I’ve been following my passion for digital technologies. During this time I’ve implemented web-based applications of various complexity in small and large teams. Due to my background as a communication designer I pay special attention to topics such as accessibility, usability and user experience (UX).
In my free time I handle two Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers with whom I travel all over Europe, which I documented on my blog for a long time and play electronic music as a DJ or stream video games on Twitch.
