Maximilian Antoni JavaScript Developer Twitter
I'm a web application developer living in Zürich, Switzerland. I work for Bank Julius Bär, building trading tools with JavaScript.
What I'm currently doing
Apart from the HTML5 / Node.js applications that I'm building at JB, I'm active on some open source projects.
Reading the fantastic book "Test-Driven JavaScript Development" from Christian Johansen changed the way I write JavaScript today. I started contributing to Sinon.JS, which Christian developed while writing the book.
How I came to Zürich
I grew up in Cologne, Germany and started my professional career in 1999 at Denkwerk when they where a tiny startup. Working as a C++ developer in the beginning, I also learned Java in the 1.3 days and worked a lot with Apples WebObjects. I learned JavaScript and started experimenting with dynamic web pages. After 5 years at Denkwerk, I decided to work for myself as a freelancer. In 2006 I took the oportunity to work for UBS Investment Bank in London to build the frontend of the "Post Trade Services Portal".
In 2007 I returned to Cologne and joined a startup where I was responsible for building the whole technology stack of a social network. UBS offered me another interesting position in Zürich two years later to work on "FX Trader Plus", a realtime trading application written in JavaScript. So in late 2009, I came here with my beautiful wife and my two little boys.
Another two years later, in 2011, I was offered my current position at Bank Julius Bär.
