Hi, I'm Benedikt Sperl – Frontend Architect and Frontend Lead based in Munich, Germany.
For over a decade, I've been building high-performance web applications that are technically excellent, user-friendly, and sustainable. My focus areas include UX design, accessibility, performance optimization, and automation.
People often ask how someone with a degree in Political Science, Sociology, and Economics from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich ends up in software development.
The short answer: I started programming when I was 12 or 13 – but studying computer science felt too one-dimensional. I've always been interested in more than just code: technology, design, society, and the ethical questions behind them.
My broad range of interests still guide my work today: I want to develop technology that is not only efficient but puts the user at the center.
During my time as a project manager in marketing and digital agencies, I managed campaigns, coordinated IT projects, and built landing pages. Gradually, I took on more and more technical responsibilities – from concept to implementation.
What really shaped my career was seeing UX issues that couldn't be fixed anymore once projects reached a certain stage. That motivated me to move deeper into development, so I could design products from the ground up that work technically and deliver great user experiences.
