Curriculum vitae

Matevž Filej

Web designer and developer

I design and build websites and apps from idea to launch: concept and design, development, server, speed, accessibility and support after handover. I have completed more than 30 projects for companies and the public sector, plus two web products of my own. I use AI tools systematically in my work, so I am fast and precise. My background in technical support helps me always see a site through the eyes of the user.
