Thomas Pham

About me

Hi, my name is Thomas Pham, UI/UX Designer & Senior Frontend Architect based in Berlin.

With over 20 years in web development, I bring concepts to life through clean, scalable and user-centered interfaces. My passion lies in building high-quality UIs that last: performant, accessible, maintainable and built with depth over breadth.

I specialize in Vue 3, TypeScript and modern design systems – creating component libraries, styleguides and test-driven frontends for enterprise-scale applications. I thrive on edge-case perfection, quality assurance, and hybrid roles that combine code with strategy and leadership.

I founded my own web development and media design agency back in the day and have worked in-house and as freelancer across different fields like gaming, travel, loyalty platforms and more. Outside of coding: music production, gaming, design experiments and deep dives into new tech.
