- A digital system made up of special software and hardware components. The overall system replaces the traditional process with job slips and handwritten notes and enables more efficient order intake. Orders and work steps for the violin-making company’s projects can now be recorded, processed and logged in real time directly on the workshop’s touchscreen PC, by mobile phone or on the desktop. This gives customers a more transparent view of the work on their instruments and allows them to track the status and progress of their instrument through their customer account.

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 Capacitor does
Capacitor is an open-source native runtime from Ionic for building iOS, Android and web applications with web technologies. It packages a web interface inside a native app shell while exposing platform features through a consistent JavaScript and TypeScript API. Teams can keep a shared application core without giving up access to native project files.
Where it fits
Capacitor is suited to customer apps, internal mobile tools, field-service applications, commerce experiences and progressive web app extensions. It works especially well when a product team already uses a modern web stack and needs app-store distribution, device integration or offline behavior.
- Cross-platform iOS and Android applications
- Ionic and Angular, React or Vue applications
- Mobile extensions for existing web products
- Offline workflows, push notifications and deep links
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong specialists work across Capacitor, Ionic and the underlying native platforms. They use the Capacitor CLI, official plugins, custom plugins, Xcode, Android Studio, CocoaPods, Gradle and app-store release tooling. Familiarity with TypeScript, frontend build systems, permissions, signing and native debugging is essential when web code meets device behavior.
When companies bring in experts
Freelance expertise is valuable when a web application must become a dependable mobile product, when a plugin does not cover a required device feature, or when releases fail differently on iOS and Android. Companies also bring in specialists for migrations from Cordova, performance issues, store submissions and maintenance of native project configuration.
- Assessing whether Capacitor fits a product and delivery plan
- Migrating Cordova plugins and native integrations
- Creating custom plugins for device capabilities
- Stabilizing builds, permissions and release pipelines
Working in Germany
For companies in Germany, Capacitor projects often support industrial services, retail, logistics, healthcare products and internal business applications. Remote collaboration works well when repositories, device testing and release ownership are clearly organized. On-site workshops can help with hardware integrations, while English is common in technical teams and German may matter for stakeholder coordination.
What strong professionals deliver
Experienced Capacitor professionals separate shared web concerns from platform-specific behavior instead of hiding every problem behind a wrapper. They test on real devices, understand lifecycle changes, handle permissions and document plugin decisions. They also monitor crashes, app performance and store requirements after launch, helping teams maintain one codebase without overlooking native quality.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Capacitor.
Capacitor is used to package web applications as native iOS and Android apps while providing access to device features such as cameras, files, notifications and geolocation. It is common in Ionic projects but can also be added to applications built with React, Vue or other web frameworks.
Capacitor is the newer native runtime from Ionic and gives teams more direct ownership of the iOS and Android projects. Cordova has a larger legacy plugin ecosystem, while Capacitor generally offers a more modern workflow for native configuration, custom plugins and web-first applications.
A strong Capacitor specialist usually works confidently with TypeScript, a frontend framework and the relevant web build tools. They should also understand Xcode, Android Studio, app signing, permissions, native debugging, push services and store submission processes.
The required depth depends on the assignment. A small app shell may need solid web and Capacitor knowledge, while custom plugins, offline synchronization or complex release pipelines call for a professional who has handled native iOS and Android behavior in production.
Yes. Capacitor projects are well suited to remote collaboration when the team shares access to build credentials, test devices, logs and release documentation. German-language communication can help with local stakeholders, but many technical teams work effectively in English.
Capacitor is a strong choice when a company wants to reuse web skills and application logic across platforms while still delivering through the app stores. A fully native approach may be better for highly specialized graphics, intensive device processing or deeply platform-specific interaction.
Look for clear separation between web code, plugins and native project changes. A capable Capacitor professional tests real devices, explains platform differences, handles permissions carefully and can show how releases, crash reporting and maintenance are managed.
A reliable Capacitor migration starts with an inventory of Cordova plugins, native changes, build scripts and device permissions. The specialist should replace unsupported integrations deliberately, validate iOS and Android behavior separately, and define a rollback plan before publishing updates.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Capacitor in their recent projects is 99 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 791 € based on an 8-hour working day.
