About

Web Design & Development

I'm Christof Karisch, a software engineer and technical team lead based in Klagenfurt, Austria. For 15+ years I've been building web applications, leading engineering teams, and shipping quality software.

I'm part of formundzeichen.at, an agency network where I contribute development and technical expertise. I work independently on projects as a senior engineer and team lead — hands-on, operational, focused on getting things done.

How I Work

Design in code

No Figma, no detours. I design directly in the browser — the result is real, working software from day one.

Beautiful and fast

Great design and performance aren't a tradeoff. The result looks premium and still loads in under a second.

Subtle animations

CSS animations, smooth transitions, and micro-interactions that bring interfaces to life — carefully crafted without compromising load times.

Easy to work with

Clear communication, short feedback loops, quick iterations. I keep the process lean so we get to results fast.
