Enrico Beyer

Senior Software Engineer based in Cologne, Germany, with six-plus years building scalable, high-performance web apps. The main strengths lie in TypeScript and Next.js, a knack for clean architecture, performance tweaks, and maintainable code.

In recent years, resistance to rigid roles is rare—I've flowed between agency work and product teams, partnering with cross-functional squads to ship features that actually move the needle. Right now, I help design system architectures, lead code reviews, and own CI/CD pipelines that’ve noticeably cut deployment times and reduced production issues. In earlier roles, I spent a lot of time untangling old codebases and managed to shave about 30% off page load times through targeted refactoring and performance tuning.

Beyond full-time gigs, there’s a small e-commerce venture I run. Built and maintain a headless Shopify storefront with Next.js, integrated ERP systems, and custom automation workflows. Running my own product gives hands-on exposure to the full lifecycle—early architecture choices, SEO, payment integrations, and keeping things smooth as traffic grows.

Day to day, the focus is on chasing performance bottlenecks, improving developer experience, and partnering closely with designers and backend engineers to ship reliable, user-oriented features. Clear, direct communication and solid documentation are valued because they make collaboration and long-term maintenance easier. Open to remote roles or positions in Cologne where there’s a chance to work on ambitious products that demand both deep technical work and pragmatic delivery.
