Hey, I'm
Nikolai Schunk
Enthusiastic about code. Good with people. Ships things.
01 — About
I'm a frontend-focused software engineer based in Zurich, working at an international tech consulting firm. My stack revolves around TypeScript and Next.js, though I'm comfortable across the full stack when needed.
I write code that's meant to be understood: simple, clear, and to the point. Knowing the right modern tools is what makes the difference between a slow process and a sharp, solution-oriented workflow. For me, keeping things simple isn't a limitation, it's a principle.

ICON apps
