TypeScript Experts in Hamburg

• Assumed responsibility for backend architecture and technical strategy, planning and leading the platform's evolution in close collaboration with the CTO
• Simultaneously drove the development of new features for the housing and tenant management platform, balancing high-level architectural design with hands-on implementation
• Utilized AI-assisted workflows (with tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and worked on AI-based features (with tools such as N8N, Mastra, ElevenLabs)

Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes

Full overall responsibility: product, technology, compliance and go-to-market

• Delivered an enterprise MVP in 54 days, exceeding scope and schedule.
• Won a 250k € ARR anchor customer and built a sustainable enterprise sales pipeline in the first quarter.
• Paid PoCs with Zalando (35k €) and tesa (26k €), validating product-market fit with Tier-1 enterprise customers.
• Initiated ISO-27001 and TISAX certification processes. Left when the venture entered its next organizational phase.

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

• Lead architect for an enterprise loan digitisation programme, coordinating 12 engineers across five workstreams and serving as final technical authority on system design.
• Cut critical application response times by 68% (display 17.3s → 5.6s; modification 11.8s → 5.0s) through targeted caching, OData query optimisation and lazy-loading refactoring; further optimisation in progress.
• Own production error triage, prioritisation and resolution across a multi-application portfolio supporting live lending operations.
• Design and implement SAP Fiori applications on SAP UI5, TypeScript and RAP, owning delivery from architecture and code through rollout and production support.
• Established C4 architecture documentation and decision records for the full programme, enabling faster onboarding and consistent cross-workstream design governance.
• Co-managed S/4HANA release cycle alongside primary responsibilities, coordinating directly with SAP support to resolve critical system issues across the portfolio.
