    About me

    Bruno Meilick

    With a background in Software Development and a Bachelor's degree in Interaction Design from ZHdK (Switzerland, 2009), I focused on Web Development early in my career. I now live in central Ireland with my wife and four kids.

    Kirby Mastery

    I've been part of the Kirby community since 2015, working on over 50 projects using Kirby for websites and custom tools. I create many free plugins because I believe in open source for education and code stability.

    Front- and Backend Development

    Bridging the gap. As a freelancer and agency employee, I’ve planned and created websites, often serving as the bridge between designers and developers.

    Less is more. As a minimalist, I make websites fast, lean, and user-friendly for visitors and editors. I use various coding techniques and caching layers to speed things up, customize workflows with Panel extensions, and provide Web UX Design consulting.

    Think first, act later. I excel in projects with complex setups involving large datasets, multiple data sources, or integrations with external services. I approach these challenges with solid planning, Test-Driven Development, and collaboration with other professionals when needed.

    All or parts. While I prefer working on projects from start to finish, you can hire me for specific tasks, like importing data from a database or optimizing your existing website’s performance.

    Klub Plugin. I offer a paid extension to Kirby CMS called Klub, which supports paywalls, memberships, and subscriptions.
