I'm Felix Tellmann I'm a freelancing web developer, writer and entrepreneur living in Cape Town. I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether that be websites, applications, or anything in between. My goal is to always build products that provide real value to its users.
My portfolio website - build with Next.js and deployed on Vercel. Under the hood I'm using mdx with next-mdx-enhanced for local development, and next-mdx-remote for production. (There is a massive speed difference for both uses in their environments.).
