Hi

I'm Jan and I work as a frontend engineer for SoundCloud in Berlin. On this website I publish my frontend-related talks, articles and projects. Currently I'm very excited about the Web Audio API and visualizations and algorithms in JavaScript :)

You can also find me as @thedeftone on Twitter or as janmonschke on Github. If you want to get in touch via mail, simply head to my contact page.
