Optimization for Varnish, NginX, and Front-End code (Freelance)
aklamio GmbHFor Aklamio, I analyzed the web stack and reported issues and solutions. I reported practical performance solutions for Varnish Cache and NginX, but also for improved JavaScript performance in Aklamio’s widely-used social widget.

It will save bandwidth, power, and reduce client-side requirements.
