I’m Moritz L’Hoest, a web developer from Cologne, Germany. At the moment, I like to work with Craft CMS and Astro. My primary focus besides full stack development is on sustainability, accessibility and data privacy. I work at schwarzdesign as a developer and team lead.

Thomas Sausen interviewed me for his CraftEntries podcast about my web dev career so far. We talk about my experiences with various content management systems, particularly ProcessWire and Craft CMS. I also discuss how community engagement has helped me learn Craft and to grow as a developer.
Listen to the episode on:
I gave a talk at Dot One Amsterdam 2024 about the synergy between Craft CMS and git. The session explores why Craft and its project config approach work particularly well for developer teams using a git-based workflows. It highlights Craft’s consistent version-control-first design, the clear distinction between config and content, and the importance of a declarative project config. I also discuss best practices and how to avoid some common pitfalls.
My very first tech talk at Dot All Barcelona 2023 about optimizing the author experience in Craft CMS. I discuss a project where we had to optimize Craft’s control panel for external contributors with no prior experience or training. The talk showcases several ways to utilize and extend existing Craft features, and build whatever is missing on top, without reinventing the wheel.
