I am Valentin Naegeli
Kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none kinda guy. Therefore or because of that, interested in many things, easily distracted and enthusiastic about fake alliterations. Generally interested in:
- technology
- language
- engineering
- communication
- economy
- the world and, in principle, most living organisms inhabiting it.
This website is my own small space on the internet: Because I like to have some control and believe that it is important not to completely outsource your digital presence to large corporations.
Work
I earn my salary as co-head of marketing and sales at the full service digital agency Apps with love AG. Since we as a company primarily design and develop software, my role gives me the opportunity to combine a number of things that I can do and that are in line with my interests, and to learn other things that I can't yet do - which is nice. More about my career: I am here on
- Linkedin (If we met before, I will gladly accept your contact request.)
Written stuff
Although I actually enjoy writing, I write much less than I'd like. Nowadays it's more in a professional context and more on the editing side. However:
- Short text: Bluesky. I'm on Mastodon & Threads, but I don't really write anything there.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Longform: Apps with love blog, yearly reports or a long time ago Medium
Other things under construction
I like - as you can probably see from the navigation of this website - experimental UI's & other tinkering. In contrast to the occasional electronics/Raspberry Pi/ESP hack that rarely reaches an audience, you can find the odd dusty or newer piece of tinkering on the internet:
- Codepen
- Spiritlevel (the first "real" PWA that I built when PWAs started to be a thing)
- Sayitwithalink (very old, but I still like the idea. Maybe I'll make it a bit more usable and nice at some point.. )
- Framethattweet (I'll have to convert that for Bluesky, I guess.)
- Sometimes I'm travelling, rarely I take pictures and even more rarely I post to Instagram.
What now?
Thanks for visiting & your interest! You can reach me - for whatever reason - via the links above. How does it all continue? No idea, but always keep in mind: Everything's just waves..
