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 technology
What Cursor is
Cursor is an AI-powered code editor based on Visual Studio Code. It helps professionals understand repositories, edit files through natural-language instructions, generate code, and review changes in context. Its core experience combines familiar editor workflows with models, chat, inline edits, and agent-style task execution.
Where it fits
Cursor supports work on web applications, APIs, internal tools, mobile backends, data services, and automation scripts. It is useful when a team needs to move through an unfamiliar codebase quickly or keep implementation aligned with existing patterns.
- Explore and explain large repositories
- Implement features across related files
- Create tests, documentation, and migrations
- Refactor code while preserving project conventions
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong Cursor specialists work comfortably with the languages, frameworks, and repositories around the editor rather than treating it as a standalone solution. Relevant skills include Git, pull requests, terminals, package managers, containers, continuous integration, testing frameworks, and secure handling of project context. They also know how to configure rules and prompts so generated changes fit the codebase.
When companies need help
Companies bring in freelance Cursor professionals when delivery is slowed by a complex legacy repository, a demanding release, or a new product that needs a dependable development workflow. Hamburg teams may combine remote collaboration with on-site workshops, especially when product, engineering, and security stakeholders need close alignment. The specialist should adapt to the company’s language, documentation standards, and review process.
Quality signals
A capable professional treats Cursor as an accelerator, not an authority. They verify generated code, inspect diffs, run tests, protect secrets, and explain trade-offs before changes are merged. They can distinguish a useful suggestion from a risky one and establish repeatable rules for context, permissions, naming, and review.
Project outcomes
A Cursor engagement should produce more than quickly written files. Typical deliverables include implemented features, reviewed pull requests, test coverage, migration plans, technical documentation, editor rules, and a workflow the internal team can maintain. The best specialists leave behind clearer code, transparent decisions, and practical guidance for using Cursor safely after the engagement ends.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Cursor, in one place.
Cursor is an AI-powered code editor for understanding repositories, generating and editing code, writing tests, and handling multi-file changes. It is commonly used for product work, maintenance, refactoring, documentation, and onboarding to unfamiliar codebases.
Cursor is built on the Visual Studio Code editor experience but places AI interaction more deeply into navigation, editing, chat, and agent workflows. The practical difference depends on the project, model access, context handling, rules, and how carefully professionals review the resulting changes.
A strong Cursor specialist should also understand Git, repository structure, testing, debugging, package management, and continuous integration. Secure handling of secrets, prompt and rule design, code review, and the project’s own language or framework are equally important.
The right level of Cursor experience depends less on the editor alone than on the complexity and risk of the codebase. A professional handling production changes should demonstrate sound software design, review discipline, testing habits, and the ability to validate AI-assisted work rather than relying on generated output.
Cursor works well in remote setups because repository work, reviews, tests, and documentation can be shared through established team tools. Hamburg companies should still define access rights, communication routines, data-handling expectations, and when an on-site workshop is useful.
Cursor can be used with sensitive repositories only after the company reviews its account settings, data controls, extensions, access permissions, and internal security policy. A qualified professional should avoid exposing secrets, limit context where needed, and make every generated change subject to normal review and testing.
Assess Cursor work through the same standards as any serious code contribution: clear diffs, passing tests, maintainable structure, useful documentation, and sound reasoning. Ask the specialist to explain what the editor suggested, what they changed, what they rejected, and how they checked the result.
Cursor does not replace architecture decisions, product understanding, code ownership, or human review. It can shorten repetitive work and help professionals explore options, but teams still need version control, testing, security checks, CI workflows, and accountable approval before release.
