About

Hi, I'm Niklas.

I'm a founding engineer at Compelling.

I love building things for the web that let others build things for the web. I spend much of my time thinking about CMSs, URLs and open standards.

My writing is the best way to see what I've been thinking about recently. You can find everything on my blog, but below is a selection of the writing I'm most proud of:

• Chief Bookmark Officer
• How to get Taste (without getting lucky)
• Email as Everything
• The case for shorter .com domains
• The Internet’s Command-Line

I've been building things for the web since high school. I studied Computer Science in Karlsruhe and lived in the US, Norway and Korea during my studies.

I'm @nklswbr on Twitter and GitHub. If you want to get in touch, DM me on Twitter or send an email.
