About me

Hello, my name is Jonathan Pagel. I'm based in Munich, pursuing my Master in AI & Society at TUM with a focus on web performance and accessibility.

I specialize in E-Commerce optimization, working with Python, JavaScript, and SQL to build faster, more accessible digital experiences. From many Hackathons to writing for the HTTP Archive, I'm passionate about the data-driven future of the web and the impact of AI on society.
