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

Melika A.
Last position:
UX/UI Designer at Twoloox GmbH
- Sole UX designer on a full product redesign and the foundations of a design system for Widget Designer, a B2B professional desktop tool for real-time media control used in live events and installations, working with a product manager and two engineers.
- Grounded the redesign in user feedback, a product audit, and competitor analysis, which surfaced where the tool's depth had outgrown its usability, leaving expert operators to manage complexity in live moments where errors are immediate and irreversible.
- Restructured the workspace, navigation, and panels around the operator's real workflow, so they keep the full depth of control while gaining the clarity to act with confidence under live pressure.
- Extracted a design system from the redesign: semantic color roles, component states, spacing rules, and reusable dialog and form patterns, with foundational accessibility built into color contrast and state feedback, validated through prototypes against the legacy codebase and giving design and engineering a shared foundation to build from consistently and at speed.

About the technology
Interface Foundations
UI Design shapes the visual and interactive layer of digital products. It covers layout, typography, color, spacing, navigation, components and feedback states across websites, mobile apps and software interfaces. Strong work makes key actions clear without adding friction.
From Concept to Handoff
UI Design experts translate product requirements, user insights and brand rules into practical interface solutions. Typical deliverables include wireframes, high-fidelity screens, clickable prototypes, responsive layouts and specifications that support implementation.
- Map screens, flows and interface states
- Create reusable components and design tokens
- Prepare prototypes for user testing
- Document interaction and responsive behavior
Tools and Ecosystem
The field commonly uses Figma, Sketch and Adobe XD for interface work, alongside FigJam or similar tools for workshops and flows. Specialists may also work with design systems, accessibility standards, prototyping tools and handoff workflows connected to frontend teams and content platforms.
When Companies Need Support
Companies often bring in freelance UI Design expertise before a product launch, during a redesign or when an existing interface has become difficult to maintain. Hamburg teams in software, commerce, media and logistics may value local workshops, while remote collaboration works well with clear reviews, shared files and agreed handoff routines.
- Establish a new visual language
- Improve conversion paths and product usability
- Unify screens across a growing product
- Adapt an interface for mobile and accessibility needs
UI and UX Together
UI Design focuses on the interface people see and use, while UX Design covers broader journeys, research and interaction structure. The disciplines overlap, so capable specialists often bring skills in user flows, information architecture, usability testing, content structure and basic frontend constraints.
What Strong Experts Deliver
Look for a portfolio that explains decisions, not only polished screens. Strong professionals show consistent components, meaningful states, responsive behavior and accessible contrast, then connect their choices to user and business goals. They communicate clearly with product, content and engineering teams and welcome structured feedback.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around UI Design.
UI Design is used to create the visual and interactive layer of websites, apps, dashboards and software products. It defines how screens look, how controls behave and how users move through important tasks.
UI Design focuses on visual presentation and interface behavior, while UX Design covers the wider user journey, research and structure of interactions. In practice, one specialist may contribute to both areas, especially on smaller product teams.
A strong UI Design freelancer commonly works with Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD and understands component libraries, design tokens and developer handoff. Experience with prototyping, accessibility checks and collaboration tools is also useful.
UI Design benefits from knowledge of user flows, information architecture, typography, responsive layouts and accessibility. Familiarity with HTML, CSS and frontend constraints helps a specialist create designs that can be implemented reliably.
The right UI Design experience depends on the product scope, number of user journeys and maturity of the existing design system. A focused screen update may need a different profile from a full product redesign with research, prototyping and implementation support.
UI Design is well suited to remote work because files, prototypes and feedback can be shared online. On-site workshops in Hamburg can still help when teams need close alignment on product direction, brand decisions or complex workflows.
Review whether the UI Design portfolio shows clear hierarchy, consistent components, useful interaction states and responsive behavior. Ask how the specialist handled constraints, incorporated feedback and checked accessibility rather than judging screens by visual style alone.
A useful UI Design brief describes the product, target users, key tasks, existing brand or system and expected deliverables. Include technical constraints, collaboration preferences and whether the work must support research, testing or frontend handoff.
