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

- 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.

About the technology
What Capacitor Does
Capacitor is an open-source native runtime from the Ionic ecosystem. It lets teams package modern web applications as iOS and Android apps while exposing native device features through a consistent JavaScript and TypeScript interface. The web layer can use frameworks such as Angular, React or Vue.
App Capabilities
Capacitor projects are useful when a company wants one web codebase with access to mobile hardware and operating-system services.
- Camera, geolocation, notifications and file storage
- Secure authentication and biometric access
- Offline workflows and network-aware behaviour
- Deep links, share actions and background tasks
- App-store packaging for iOS and Android
Ecosystem and Tooling
Strong work with Capacitor includes the Ionic CLI, native Xcode and Android Studio projects, and the official Capacitor plugins. Specialists also handle custom plugins when a product needs native APIs that are not covered by the standard package. They work with TypeScript, npm, Gradle, CocoaPods and platform-specific permissions.
When Companies Need Help
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when a web product is moving into mobile, an existing Cordova app is being modernised, or releases need more reliable native integration.
- Plan a web-to-mobile architecture without duplicating business logic
- Replace outdated Cordova plugins and resolve compatibility issues
- Connect payment, identity, device and enterprise services
- Stabilise builds, signing, testing and store submissions
Delivery in Germany
Teams in Germany use Capacitor for customer portals, field-service applications, retail tools and internal business software. Remote collaboration works well when repositories, build environments and release ownership are clearly documented. On-site workshops can help with security reviews, device testing and coordination across product teams.
What Strong Specialists Bring
A capable professional understands both browser behaviour and native platform constraints. They design clean plugin boundaries, manage permissions carefully and test on real devices rather than relying only on browser previews. They also explain trade-offs between a shared web layer, native modules and fully native implementation.
When evaluating candidates, review shipped Capacitor applications, the framework used with them and the release process they owned. Ask how they handled offline state, app lifecycle events, native debugging and store requirements. Experience with accessible interfaces, automated tests and secure data handling is equally important for production work.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Capacitor.
Capacitor is used to turn web applications into iOS and Android apps with access to native device features. It suits products that want to share UI and business logic across web and mobile while still using cameras, notifications, storage, biometrics and other platform services.
Capacitor is the newer native runtime in the Ionic ecosystem and uses a modern project structure with native iOS and Android projects kept visible to the team. Cordova has a large established plugin ecosystem, but migrating teams often choose Capacitor for clearer native customisation and current web tooling.
A strong Capacitor specialist usually works with TypeScript and a web framework such as Angular, React or Vue. They should also understand Xcode, Android Studio, Gradle, CocoaPods, app signing, permissions, native debugging and automated mobile testing.
Yes, Capacitor work benefits from practical iOS and Android knowledge, especially when plugins, permissions, background behaviour or store releases are involved. The required depth depends on the project, but production work should include experience investigating issues below the web layer.
Capacitor projects are often suitable for remote collaboration in Germany because source code, builds and documentation can be shared securely. Teams should agree on access to signing credentials, physical test devices, release responsibilities and communication in English or German.
Capacitor is a natural fit when a company already has a strong web application and wants to reuse its interface and business logic. React Native can be preferable when the product requires a deeply native UI or highly specialised mobile performance, so the choice should follow the product constraints.
Before taking on Capacitor work, a freelancer should inspect the web framework, plugin versions, native project state, target devices and release pipeline. They should clarify offline behaviour, permissions, authentication, store ownership and which native features require custom code.
Review a professional’s shipped Capacitor applications and ask for concrete examples of native integration, failed builds, device testing and store submission. Good work has maintainable plugin boundaries, predictable error handling, secure data flow and documented steps for local development and releases.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Capacitor in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 773 € based on an 8-hour working day.
