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

• Developed a new iOS access-control scanning app for security/gate staff to validate RFID wristbands/badges in real time
• Implemented an online/offline hybrid architecture: scans are first checked against the API, with a fallback to local SQLite data in case of network issues, including complete access policy evaluation (zone, direction, scan limits)
• Developed a native iOS RFID bridge: connected the proprietary RFID SDK (QuantumSDK) via a custom Expo Config Plugin + Native Module; integrated LineaPro Bluetooth scanner hardware
• Implemented real-time updates via WebSocket (Pusher protocol), including private-channel authentication and reconnect with exponential backoff for device-/gate-/event-based configuration changes
• Designed a 3-level persistence setup (Keychain/MMKV/SQLite) for secure credentials, high-performance state and offline-capable scan/credential data
• Implemented incremental credential sync (Cursor + updated_after) as well as batch upload of scan logs after reconnect to ensure consistent data in field operations

• Developed an accessible, responsive website based on Figma designs for a major sports event in compliance with WCAG, BITV and EN 301 549
• Planned and set up the tool stack with Vite, Playwright, Docker and GitLab CI
• Worked on two existing projects (Vue.js & Nuxt), focusing on bug fixing, accessibility audits and developing new features
• Collaborated with Design and QA to consistently implement accessible UI patterns
• Advised on improving existing frontend architectures in terms of accessibility, performance and maintainability

Cross-brand design system

Focus: Analysis of the causes of recurring layout deviations in design system components. The cause was the integration of visual regression tests (BackstopJS) into the build and approval process: deviations were not blocked, and reference images were replaced without approval.

Recommendations for a controlled workflow with mandatory approval and test results as a prerequisite for merging. Contributed to the successor system based on Lit/Web Components.

Technologies: Lit, Web Components, SCSS, Gulp, BackstopJS, GitHub Enterprise, JFrog Artifactory
