Skills
I develop responsive, maintainable, fast and cutting-edge Frontend Experiences for the modern Web. To achieve these standards I make use of a broad spectrum of modern web technologies like Pug (HTML), SASS (+BEM), AngularJS, jQuery and professional workflow- & version-control tools like NPM, Gulp and Git.
I code native & fluid mobile Apps for iOS, Android and Windows using the popular Ionic Framework and its vast library of native PlugIns. This ensures great compatibility with OS native User Experience features and habits. All while maintaining the app through one codebase. From whiteboard to appstore - one seamless process.
I build Content Management Systems, serverside Software as well as Plugins & Themes for WordPress. I develop both classic solutions using PHP & mySQL and Progressive Web-Apps, SPAs and hybrid Apps using Realtime DB Systems like Firebase and MVC architecture style frameworks like AngularJS and Ionic.
Performance and the modern web go hand in hand. To create products that perform well on a multitude of devices & network conditions and thus enhance user experience is standard work practice for me. Lightning fast above-the-fold loading, performance oriented workflow, GZIP- and CDN-Distribution of content are just some enhancements I implement.
I design clean, sophisticated and friendly user interfaces and build interactive prototypes using state-of-the-art design tools. By doing iterativ design, I keep the customer in the loop throughout the design process, so feedback can be discussed and implemented on a regular basis.
From concept to final print, I design digital and analog print products like posters, flyers, business cards and magazines. For that I use industry standard desktop publishing and typesetting software. To guarantee the best possible print quality, I directly hand over the files to the printing company.
Work
By assignement of EUROPARC Germany e.V., the umbrella organization for the German National Parks, a hybrid app for iOS and Android is being developed. This brings all national parks, biosphere reserves, nature parks and wilderness areas of Germany to your mobile device. With up-to-date UX and elements of gamification, a modern, beautiful, personalized and fast user experience is created for every mobile device. One goal is to engage more young people around the topic "National Natural Landscapes" and make it more tangible and finally to inspire to take action. The app is connected via a REST API to the existing WordPress backend. The release is scheduled for February 2020.

Magellan Code & Design Consulting supported the Inter Chalet Ferienhausgesellschaft mbH and Interhome AG in the web development of the new Interhome websites. Here, Mr. Arbely was instrumental in the design and implementation from the start, where he designed the home-, detail- and searchresult-page and made an essential contribution to the successful implementation of the project due to his permanent search for improvements (e.g. performance wise).

We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the excellent and successful cooperation. We were very satisfied with the cooperation and the result.
