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 Storybook does
Storybook is an open-source workbench for building, documenting and testing user interface components in isolation. It runs alongside applications built with React, Vue, Angular, Svelte and other front-end frameworks. Teams use stories to show how components behave across states, inputs and screen sizes without navigating through the full product.
Components and documentation
A well-structured Storybook turns a component library into a shared reference for product teams. Experts define stories for buttons, forms, navigation, tables, dialogs and complex composite views, then add controls, usage guidance and accessibility notes. The result helps teams reuse consistent interface patterns across applications and products.
Ecosystem and tooling
Storybook connects with the tools used in modern interface delivery. Typical work includes:
- Configuring React, Vue, Angular or Svelte projects
- Adding Controls, Actions, Docs and accessibility checks
- Integrating Jest, Vitest, Playwright or Cypress workflows
- Running Chromatic or other visual review processes
- Managing shared design tokens and component packages
Experts also work with TypeScript, CSS systems, package managers, monorepos and continuous integration pipelines. They understand how configuration choices affect both local workflows and published documentation.
When companies need support
Companies often bring in freelance Storybook specialists when a design system needs structure, when inconsistent interfaces slow delivery or when existing stories are difficult to maintain. They may also need support during a framework migration, a component-library rollout or the introduction of visual regression testing.
In Germany, remote collaboration is common for this work, while workshops and design-system planning may benefit from on-site sessions. Clear English is widely useful; German can matter when documentation and stakeholder communication are local responsibilities.
What strong specialists deliver
Strong professionals treat Storybook as part of the product workflow, not as a collection of isolated examples. They create meaningful stories, model realistic states and keep documentation close to the source components. They also set boundaries between reusable UI, application logic and test concerns.
Quality is visible in fast loading stories, clear naming, useful controls and coverage of error, loading, empty and responsive states. Experienced specialists make the setup easy for other teams to extend and keep changes reviewable in continuous integration.
Choosing the right expertise
The right profile depends on the project’s framework, component architecture and release process. Look for experience with the relevant rendering model, TypeScript patterns, accessibility standards and the testing tools already used by the team.
Ask for examples of component libraries, migration work or documentation systems rather than only isolated story files. A strong specialist can explain trade-offs between interaction tests, end-to-end coverage and visual checks, then leave behind conventions that the internal team can maintain.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Storybook? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Storybook is used to build and review UI components outside the full application. Teams use it for interactive documentation, design-system maintenance, accessibility checks, interaction testing and visual regression workflows.
Storybook is not itself a component library or a design system. It is the workbench and documentation layer that helps teams develop, demonstrate and test the components that make up those systems.
A strong Storybook specialist usually understands React, Vue, Angular or Svelte, along with TypeScript, CSS architecture and package management. Useful adjacent skills include accessibility, design tokens, monorepos, continuous integration and tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Jest or Vitest.
The required level depends on the scope and starting point. A small component documentation task may need focused configuration knowledge, while a shared design system, framework migration or visual testing rollout calls for a professional who has handled architecture, governance and team adoption.
Storybook is well suited to remote collaboration because stories provide a shared, reviewable view of components and states. German teams should agree early on documentation language, review routines, repository access and whether occasional on-site workshops are needed.
A quality Storybook setup covers meaningful states, uses clear naming and provides documentation that another team can follow. Check whether stories load reliably, reflect real component behavior, include accessibility and responsive cases, and fit the project’s testing and release process.
Storybook can supply stable component states to visual regression tools such as Chromatic or screenshot workflows built with browser automation. The specialist should define suitable viewports, control dynamic data and establish a review process for intentional visual changes.
Before starting with Storybook, freelancers should understand the framework, component boundaries, build system and test strategy already in place. They should also clarify whether the goal is documentation, design-system delivery, interaction testing, visual review or a combination of these outcomes.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Storybook in their recent projects is 93 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 747 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Storybook in their recent projects, 92% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 39% hold at least a Master's degree, and 2% hold a doctorate.
