Project for a leading German email and cloud service provider: As Senior Frontend Developer and Technical Web Architect, I developed an international, multi-tenant white-label consent management layer for several brands.

Main tasks:

• Architecture and implementation with Vue 3, TypeScript, and Vite
• Development of automated tests with Vitest and Playwright
• Creation of brand-specific CMP configurations, CSS themes, i18n structures, and vendor settings
• Implementation of the playout and initialization logic as well as backend integration
• technical decision support, project and code documentation

Impact: Replacement of external CMP solutions with a reusable and long-term maintainable in-house base for several international brands and rollouts.

Technologies: Vue 3, TypeScript, Vite, Vitest, Playwright, IAB TCF, Google Additional Consent, i18n, Git, CI/CD.

I help companies and digital teams win back time in their day-to-day work – by automating recurring processes and improving digital products in a targeted way. Depending on the need, either in execution or at leadership level (interim).

Typical results:

• Manual routine processes run automatically – requests, data maintenance, follow-ups
• Faster response times and fewer things left sitting in day-to-day operations
• Clear priorities in product and digitalization initiatives, practical instead of overbuilt

How: modern No/Low-Code automation (including n8n, Make.com), combined with experience as a Managing Director and digital product lead. The tool is never the starting point – the question is always where a solution creates real value.
