Freelance Web Developer
Vision. Design. Enhancement.
Hello!
Allow me to introduce myself—I am Jürgen, an up-and-coming web developer with a keen eye for detail and a passion for creativity. Born and raised in Tartu, Estonia, a country at the heart of IT innovation, I’ve found my calling in the digital world.
Currently, I am studying web development at Tartu Vocational College. I chose this specialty because I believe that in the modern world it is essential to present oneself globally—and what better way to do that than through the World Wide Web? Equipped with a BA in Semiotics and an MA in Translation from the University of Tartu, I possess unique insights into communication and user experience design.
Web development, for me, is not just a career but a canvas for innovation, where every project is an opportunity to do something great. Beyond coding, I try to immerse myself in languages, etiquette, sports, film, and literature—diverse interests that not only fuel my creativity but also enhance my perspective on design and functionality.
It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance! Now, let’s create something remarkable together!
