Alexander Dretvic

Hey, I’m Alexander :)

I’m 22 years old, grew up in Plochingen (Germany), and successfully completed my apprenticeship as an Computer Science Expert in Software Development. During that time, I contributed to several websites and took on increasing responsibility for frontend development and CMS integrations. Communication, teamwork, and respectful treatment are essential skills for me in this work.

I’m particularly drawn to building modern and complex frontends, because I’m convinced that almost any idea can be technically implemented. I’m well aware that a good frontend is of little value without the right backend integration, SEO, accessibility, and performance.

My Experience

In my projects to date, I’ve implemented many components in TYPO3 (HTML, SCSS, JS). I’ve primarily worked with the headless-CMS Directus in conjunction with Next.js (React, TS, Tailwind) and Storybook. I’m also familiar with working with APIs.

My Focus

I tackle challenging projects with a commitment to high quality. That’s exactly why my curiosity drives me to constantly look beyond the frontend — especially into the areas of backend and e-commerce systems.

The fact that I like to take matters into my own hands is evident right here: I configured the hosting and setup for this portfolio entirely on my own. I’m highly motivated to learn new technologies and grow through new challenges.
