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 Firebase does
Firebase is Google’s application development platform for building and operating web and mobile products. It provides managed services for authentication, databases, file storage, hosting, messaging, analytics and crash reporting. Teams use it to ship product features without maintaining every backend component themselves.
Core services
Firestore stores application data with real-time listeners, offline support and flexible security rules. Firebase Authentication handles email, social, phone and custom identity flows, while Cloud Functions runs server-side logic in response to events or HTTP requests. Cloud Storage, Hosting, Cloud Messaging and Remote Config extend the platform across the product lifecycle.
Ecosystem and tooling
Firebase work often connects closely with Google Cloud, especially Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, BigQuery and Identity Platform. Specialists use the Firebase CLI, Firebase Console, Emulator Suite and SDKs for JavaScript, Android, iOS, Flutter and Unity. Strong delivery also involves TypeScript, REST APIs, security rules, CI/CD pipelines and monitoring.
Typical projects
- Launch consumer mobile apps with secure sign-in and synchronized data
- Add real-time collaboration, chat, notifications or live dashboards
- Create serverless APIs and event-driven workflows with Cloud Functions
- Deploy web applications through Firebase Hosting and automated releases
- Connect product events to analytics, BigQuery or existing business systems
When freelance expertise helps
Companies bring in Firebase specialists when a prototype must become a reliable product, when security rules need a careful review or when usage growth exposes data-model and cost concerns. Freelancers can also accelerate a migration from a custom backend, implement App Check, improve release automation or connect Firebase with existing cloud services. Hamburg teams can combine local workshops with remote delivery when their product, design and operations groups are distributed.
What strong specialists deliver
Good Firebase professionals design data models around query patterns rather than treating Firestore as a simple document store. They separate client permissions from trusted server logic, test rules with the Emulator Suite and understand mobile offline behavior. They also document environment configuration, plan backups and monitoring, and know when a Firebase service should be complemented by a broader Google Cloud architecture.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Firebase.
Firebase is used to build mobile and web applications with managed authentication, real-time or cloud databases, file storage, hosting, messaging and analytics. It suits products such as marketplaces, collaboration tools, consumer apps, internal portals and connected experiences.
Firebase offers a mature Google ecosystem, client SDKs and managed services that can shorten delivery time. Supabase provides a PostgreSQL foundation and open-source components, while a custom backend gives more control over data models and runtime behavior but requires more infrastructure work.
A strong Firebase specialist often works with TypeScript or JavaScript, Flutter, native Android or iOS development, and Google Cloud services. Useful adjacent skills include API design, security rules, CI/CD, data modeling, observability and privacy-aware analytics.
The right level depends on the product risk, not just its feature list. A simple app may need focused configuration and feature delivery, while a larger system benefits from a Firestore data model, tested authorization, migration planning, cost controls and production monitoring.
Yes. Firebase projects are well suited to remote collaboration when repositories, environments, access rules and deployment steps are documented. Hamburg companies may prefer on-site workshops for discovery or security reviews, followed by remote implementation with clear communication in English or German.
Firebase is a strong choice when a team values fast product delivery, managed infrastructure, real-time behavior and integrated mobile services. A traditional backend may be better when the system needs complex relational transactions, extensive server-side customization or strict control over infrastructure.
Ask how they would model Firestore data, prevent unauthorized reads and writes, handle offline clients and monitor production failures. A capable Firebase professional can explain trade-offs clearly, show disciplined testing of security rules and distinguish a quick prototype from a maintainable production system.
Firebase freelancers may deliver authentication flows, Firestore schemas, Cloud Functions, security rules, hosting setup, push notifications, analytics events and deployment pipelines. They can also review an existing implementation, resolve performance issues or connect Firebase with Google Cloud and external services.
