Timo J.
Last position:
Co-Founder & Technical Lead at cubular GmbH
Co-founded a software agency building custom web and cross-platform products. I owned the technical decisions across the whole portfolio and led 12 people, while carrying delivery planning, process and client relationships for 11 clients across 3 industries.
Technical leadership: owned the technical decisions for the codebase across every project — stack, architecture, code conventions and the tooling the team worked with — and led the developers on how work got built through code reviews, pair programming and mentoring across a team ranging from junior to senior, keeping the codebase coherent as the portfolio and the team grew
Delivery planning against the financial plan: built the company's financial plan and derived from it the billable hours each developer had to reach per month and the hours each project could absorb to stay within budget; planned capacity and scope against those figures and negotiated budgets and delivery dates directly with clients
Client ownership: technical contact across the portfolio — requirements gathering and prioritisation, scoping and estimates, timeline communication, budget negotiation, and consistent transparency throughout delivery
Team and people: owned the hiring and interview process end to end and took responsibility for offboarding where it was needed; designed an onboarding that got new developers productive within 1–2 days; cleared blockers daily and kept a close eye on where effort was creating value and where it was not
Process ownership: consolidated a micro-service landscape spread over 15+ repositories into a single monorepo, cutting backend development time by ~40% and simplifying releases for 6 engineers; set up deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI; ran retrospectives and turned the feedback into concrete changes; introduced AI agents into day-to-day development
Delivered short-staffed: when the team shrank from 8 developers to 2, restructured scope, introduced AI-assisted development to hold the schedule and took on Go backend work alongside my own frontend scope
Architecture and code: defined the architecture for every project in the portfolio — the structure the rest of the team built within — and wrote roughly 90% of the frontend code myself, from SSR applications with Next.js and Remix to cross-platform apps with Capacitor
From zero to production: took a practice management platform — administration, inventory, integrated online shop, chat messenger — from an empty repository to production. Live in 7 markets with at least 7 more coming up, serving tens of thousands of users
Delivery under pressure: built and shipped a replacement online shop for a Fortune 250 client in 4 days, restoring order intake while their global shops had been offline for several weeks
Design system: built a cross-project design system used across 7 products, so new projects and features started from a shared, consistent base
Cross-platform and real-time: built iOS and Android apps with Capacitor for a client live event with 1,000+ participants — web sockets and push notifications for real-time content, Stripe payments supporting PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards
Key technologies: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Remix, GraphQL, ConnectRPC, Redux, Zustand, Go, Node.js, Turborepo, Nx, Capacitor, Ionic, WebSockets, Stripe, PostgreSQL, Playwright, Cypress, Vitest, Storybook, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot

About the role
Frontend delivery
Frontend Developers build the user-facing part of web products. They turn design files into working interfaces, connect them to APIs, and keep the experience smooth across browsers and devices. Common deliverables include:
- Product UI built in React, Vue, Angular, or similar frameworks
- Responsive layouts that follow design systems and brand rules
- API integration, form flows, and state handling
- Accessibility fixes and cross-browser improvements
- Performance work for faster loading and cleaner interactions
Core skills A strong frontend developer knows how to balance visual quality, code structure, and shipping speed. Companies usually look for solid JavaScript or TypeScript skills, a good grasp of HTML and CSS, and experience with component-based architecture. A good frontend engineer also understands how to work with UX design, QA, product, and backend teams without creating friction.
Common stack
The exact stack depends on the product, but most freelance frontend programmers work with modern JavaScript frameworks, CSS tooling, package managers, and build tools. Frequent tasks include:
- React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, or Angular work
- TypeScript for safer, clearer code
- CSS Modules, Sass, Tailwind, or design system styles
- Testing with Cypress, Playwright, Jest, or similar tools
- Working in Git-based team workflows and CI pipelines
When to bring one in Companies hire a freelance frontend developer when a release is blocked, design needs to move into code quickly, or internal teams are overloaded. In Germany, this often comes up in product companies, agencies, B2B software teams, and e-commerce projects that need fast interface work without a long hiring process. Freelancers also fit well for remote collaboration when the team is distributed, or for on-site work when close pairing with product and design matters.
What good looks like The best frontend developers write code that other developers can maintain. They ask clear questions, spot edge cases early, and care about accessibility, performance, and consistent UI behavior. Strong candidates can explain trade-offs in a simple way and show that they can work from a design brief, not only from a full specification.
Typical project fit This role is a strong fit for UI rebuilds, design system implementation, dashboard development, SPA work, and improving existing interfaces that feel slow or inconsistent. It is also useful when a company needs a frontend engineer to join an existing team for a limited time and keep delivery moving. The best results come when scope, tech stack, and ownership are clear from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Frontend Developers? These answers cover the essentials.
A Frontend Developer turns product and design requirements into the parts users see and use in the browser. That usually includes page layout, interactive components, API integration, form handling, and browser compatibility work. In many projects, the developer also helps refine the user flow so the interface is easier to use and maintain.
Look for strong JavaScript or TypeScript skills, clean HTML and CSS, and real experience with a modern framework such as React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, or Nuxt. A good candidate should also understand responsive design, accessibility, and testing. If the role sits in a product team, communication with designers and backend developers matters just as much as the code.
Not always, but the overlap is large. A frontend engineer usually covers broader technical ownership, including app architecture, state management, API integration, and testing, while a UI developer may focus more narrowly on visual implementation. In practice, many companies use these titles interchangeably for the same freelance work.
Freelance makes sense when you need help for a specific release, a redesign, a migration, or a temporary gap in the team. A frontend developer can step in quickly without a long hiring cycle and can focus on delivery from day one. It is also a good option when the workload changes often and you do not need a permanent headcount.
Yes, remote collaboration is very common, especially for product teams and digital agencies in Germany. The important part is a clear workflow for handoff, review, and feedback, plus enough overlap for meetings with design, backend, and product. If your project needs workshop sessions or pair work, on-site support can still be valuable.
That depends on the project, but most experienced frontend developers are comfortable with React, Vue, Angular, TypeScript, Git, and modern build tools. Many also work with design handoff tools, CSS frameworks, component libraries, and test tools such as Cypress or Playwright. For enterprise work, familiarity with design systems and structured release processes is a plus.
Review the code they have shipped, not only the visuals. Good frontend work is consistent, responsive, accessible, and easy to extend without breaking other parts of the app. Ask how they approach performance, testing, and edge cases, and look for clear explanations of the choices they made.
A frontend developer should confirm the product goal, the design source, the framework in use, and who owns backend APIs and QA. It also helps to clarify browser support, accessibility expectations, deployment flow, and how decisions are approved. Clear scope at the start avoids rework later.
The average hourly rate for Frontend Developers in Germany is 86 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 692 € based on an 8-hour working day.
