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 It Means
Responsive Web Design creates websites that adapt their layout, content and interactions to different screen sizes and input methods. Instead of maintaining separate desktop and mobile experiences, specialists build flexible interfaces that remain usable across phones, tablets, laptops and large displays. The approach combines fluid grids, flexible media, scalable typography and thoughtful interaction design.
What It Builds
Responsive Web Design supports public websites, commerce experiences, content platforms, customer portals and web applications. Strong implementation considers both visual structure and practical use:
- Mobile-first page layouts and navigation
- Responsive landing pages and campaign sites
- Adaptive product, checkout and account flows
- Flexible dashboards and data-heavy interfaces
- Cross-browser experiences for different devices
Core Toolkit
Professionals usually work with semantic HTML, modern CSS and JavaScript, alongside component systems such as React, Vue or Web Components. CSS Grid, Flexbox, media queries, container queries and fluid type scales shape the responsive foundation. They may also use Figma, design tokens, Storybook, browser developer tools and automated visual testing to connect design with implementation.
When to Bring Help
Companies bring in freelance expertise when an existing site breaks at smaller widths, a redesign must support many devices, or a design system needs consistent responsive rules. Specialists can audit layouts, define breakpoints, rebuild components, improve touch interactions and resolve browser-specific issues. In Hamburg, they can collaborate on-site with local product, marketing or editorial teams, or work remotely with an established handoff process.
Quality Signals
A strong specialist tests real content rather than relying on fixed mockups. They check keyboard access, touch targets, readable type, image behavior, loading performance and orientation changes. They explain why a layout should adapt, avoid unnecessary breakpoints and document reusable patterns so future pages remain consistent. Portfolio reviews should include work across device sizes, not only polished desktop screens.
Adjacent Expertise
Responsive Web Design overlaps with accessibility, interaction design, information architecture, frontend implementation, performance optimization and search-friendly markup. The best project fit depends on the deliverable: a visual refresh may need strong Figma and design-system skills, while a production rebuild may require React, testing and content-management experience. Clear requirements, representative content and access to existing components help freelancers deliver efficiently.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Responsive Web Design.
Responsive Web Design is used to create websites and web applications that adjust to different screen sizes, browsers and input methods. It helps teams deliver one adaptable experience for mobile, tablet and desktop users instead of maintaining disconnected layouts.
Responsive Web Design uses one codebase and a flexible layout that adapts to the available space. A separate mobile website can support a highly specialized experience, but it often introduces duplicated content, maintenance work and inconsistent behavior between versions.
A strong Responsive Web Design specialist should understand semantic HTML, modern CSS, JavaScript, accessibility and browser testing. Experience with Figma, design systems, CSS Grid, Flexbox, content management systems or frontend frameworks can also be important depending on the project.
The right level depends on the scope and condition of the existing site. A focused layout audit may need a specialist who can diagnose CSS and content issues, while a full redesign benefits from someone who can shape interaction patterns, component rules, accessibility and implementation together.
Yes. Responsive Web Design projects work well remotely when teams share design files, content requirements, browser-testing results and clear review routines. Hamburg-based companies may still prefer occasional on-site workshops, especially when product, brand and editorial stakeholders need to align quickly.
Review whether the specialist tests real pages at varied widths rather than showing only a desktop mockup. Ask how they handle navigation, readable typography, touch targets, keyboard access, images, performance and unusual content lengths.
Responsive Web Design does not automatically make a site accessible, but accessibility should shape its layout and interaction decisions. A capable specialist considers keyboard navigation, focus states, contrast, zoom behavior, semantic structure and touch targets alongside visual adaptation.
A Responsive Web Design freelancer should clarify target devices, browsers, content types, design assets, existing components and the expected level of frontend implementation. They should also agree on testing responsibilities, accessibility expectations and how changes will be reviewed across layouts.
