Andreas Goebel is a front-end engineer. He is working at InterRed for almost 3 years now, where he took part on developing a new content management system for europes biggest publishing house, the "Axel Springer Verlag". Andreas is an assured advocate of new web technologies, best practices, modular programming patterns, performance and static build processes. He is one of those who are said to have an addiction and a little knowledge for a library called jQuery.

He is mainly dealing with ECMA-/Javascript, css3, html5 and client-server dynamics using Ajax/WebSocket connections. Beyond that, he has a pretty good understanding and knowledge about backend-considered stuff, like MySQL, CouchDB, Perl and of course nodeJS.

Andreas can be found day in and out on stackoverflow.com where he tries to have an eye for interesting questions and hopefully, can help out other people on answering some of their questions. You will find him in the "Stackoverflow" chat channel 'javascript' very regulary.

He considers Nicholas C. Zakas as his mentor because of learning oh-so much from him. Also, he copied unashamedly the form of writting for this about text from his blog.
