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 Google Pay does
Google Pay is a digital wallet and payment service for online, in-app and contactless purchases. It lets customers use saved cards and other supported payment methods without entering payment details at every checkout. Companies use it to reduce checkout friction while keeping sensitive card data tokenized.
Where it is used
Google Pay appears in consumer apps, ecommerce checkouts, subscription services and in-store payment journeys. Common delivery areas include:
- Android checkout and payment-sheet integration
- Google Pay buttons for web and mobile commerce
- Tokenized card payments through a payment gateway
- Refunds, payment status handling and order reconciliation
- Wallet acceptance across retail, travel and digital services
Ecosystem and tooling
A Google Pay project connects the Google Pay API with a payment service provider or gateway. Specialists work with Android SDKs, web APIs, JavaScript, Kotlin, secure token handling and backend payment endpoints. They also understand merchant configuration, supported card networks, test environments and the differences between gateway tokenization and direct processing.
When companies need experts
Companies often bring in freelance specialists when launching a new checkout, replacing a payment flow or extending an existing app to contactless payments. Expertise is also useful when payment authorization works inconsistently, regional acceptance must be configured, or the integration needs a careful review before release. In Germany, teams may value professionals who can coordinate remotely across product, security and payment operations, while communicating clearly in English or German.
What strong professionals deliver
Strong Google Pay experts start with the complete payment journey, not just the button. They define supported devices and payment methods, configure the gateway correctly, validate merchant and environment settings, and handle success, failure, cancellation and refund states. They protect payment data, keep secrets out of client code and make logs useful without exposing sensitive information.
How quality is assessed
Review a specialist’s work through a clear test plan and a realistic checkout demonstration. Look for reliable handling of tokenization, duplicate submissions, interrupted sessions, declined payments, refunds and reconciliation. The best professionals document gateway assumptions, explain platform limitations and leave maintainable integration code with monitoring and release guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Google Pay.
Google Pay is used to let customers pay online, inside an app or at a contactless terminal with a payment method stored in their Google Wallet. It can shorten checkout and reduce manual card-entry errors. The payment gateway still handles authorization, settlement and related merchant operations.
Google Pay serves customers using supported Android devices and Google Wallet, while Apple Pay is designed for Apple devices. The two services have similar goals, but their APIs, device capabilities, wallet configuration and merchant flows differ. A specialist should assess the target devices and payment provider before choosing an implementation approach.
Google Pay work commonly requires Android or web integration, payment-gateway knowledge, backend API design and secure token handling. Useful adjacent skills include Kotlin, JavaScript, mobile testing, checkout analytics and order reconciliation. Experience with authentication, refunds and failure recovery is equally important.
The scope matters more than a fixed experience threshold. A simple checkout addition may need focused payment-integration expertise, while a multi-region rollout calls for a specialist who can handle gateway rules, app and web flows, testing, monitoring and operational handover. For Google Pay, ask candidates to explain comparable payment journeys and the edge cases they covered.
Google Pay integrations are often suitable for remote collaboration because code, test environments and payment-provider settings can be reviewed online. On-site work may help when teams need workshops with security, retail or payment operations. For German companies, agree early on working hours, documentation language and access to test accounts.
Evaluate Google Pay through a test plan covering approved payments, declines, cancellations, duplicate attempts, refunds and interrupted sessions. Check that tokens and credentials are handled safely and that logs do not expose payment data. A strong specialist can also explain gateway dependencies and demonstrate how failures reach customer support and reconciliation teams.
Google Pay is a wallet and payment interface, not a complete replacement for a payment gateway or processor. The wallet supplies a payment credential that the chosen gateway processes according to its supported configuration. Companies still need merchant onboarding, settlement, refund handling and reconciliation.
A freelancer working with Google Pay should clarify the app or web surface, target markets, supported cards, gateway, tokenization mode and release process. They should also understand Google’s integration requirements, test carefully on supported devices and document assumptions for the team. Clear communication is essential when payment, security and product specialists share responsibility.
