Senior Full Stack Developer · Hamburg

Code. Architecture. Passion.

I build modern web applications — for over 15 years, with the TALL stack as my technical home and a photographer’s eye for detail.

01 — Development

Cleanly built, clearly communicated.

Since 2010 I have delivered projects of every size as a freelance developer – from lean websites to complex backend solutions with admin interfaces. The focus: maintainable code, clean architecture and solutions that still hold up tomorrow.

  • 01

    Web applications

    Tailored applications with Laravel & Livewire – from prototype to production.

    Robust APIs, clean data models and import/export pipelines for complex data flows.

    Clean architecture

    Maintainable, testable code and clear structures that still hold up years later.

  • 05

    Collaboration

    Direct communication, dependable agreements and transparency instead of a black box.

  • 06

    Long-term partnership

    I have supported many clients for over ten years – from the first line to operation and evolution.

Working with AI

Programming is changing – and so am I. My focus is shifting toward conception, planning and review, while a growing share of the actual implementation is handled by AI under close guidance. That gets me to robust solutions faster – without compromising on quality or architecture.
