Two ways to work together

For product and engineering leads

Product engineering with AI

A product built, a grown platform untangled, or a team that wants to work with AI without losing control of the codebase.

For small and mid-sized companies

AI automation for your processes and your knowledge

Workflows where AI removes real work, automated so they run reliably, and assistants that answer from your own documents.

Background

In software development since 2005. Self-employed since 2018. Started with .NET and C#, moved to JavaScript early, React since 2015. Since then frontend architecture on web and mobile (React Native), across marketplaces, fintech, e-commerce, edtech and construction tech, with the whole stack behind it: backend and delivery.

Most recently the web architecture and delivery of an AI-assisted content platform built from the ground up. RAG and agentic systems, built into my own products. The tools have changed three times, the principles have not. Event Storming where a domain needs it. Domain-driven design and CQRS where the domain earns them.

Marketplaces · Fintech · E-commerce · EdTech · Construction tech

Based in Berlin. Remote and hybrid.

Freelance, contract or advisory, available for selected engagements.
