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
What UX Design covers
UX Design, also called User Experience Design or UX, shapes how people understand, use and trust a digital product. It connects research, structure, interaction and testing to make websites, mobile apps, SaaS products and connected services easier to use. The work focuses on real user needs and measurable product goals.
Typical deliverables
UX specialists turn uncertain ideas into clear product decisions and usable experiences. Depending on the project, they may deliver:
- User research plans, interviews and personas
- Customer journeys, information architecture and user flows
- Wireframes, prototypes and interaction specifications
- Usability tests and findings for product teams
- Design systems and accessibility guidance
Tools and adjacent skills
The ecosystem includes Figma, FigJam, Miro, Maze and other tools for collaboration, prototyping and research. Strong professionals understand responsive interface patterns, accessibility, content structure and product analytics. They often work closely with visual design, frontend implementation, service design and product management without losing sight of the user journey.
When companies need specialists
Companies bring in freelance UX expertise when a product is difficult to navigate, research is missing or a new service must be validated before development. External specialists can add an independent view during a redesign, support a discovery phase or strengthen an internal team before a major release. In Hamburg, this work often supports digital products in logistics, media, commerce and business services.
What strong work looks like
Good UX Design is more than attractive screens. Strong professionals explain the evidence behind their decisions, involve users early and make trade-offs visible to stakeholders. They connect business objectives with practical flows, test assumptions before they become expensive and document patterns that teams can apply consistently.
Working with Hamburg teams
UX projects can succeed remotely when research access, decision rights and feedback routines are clear. On-site sessions in Hamburg may help when teams need workshops, field observation or close collaboration with domain experts. When choosing a freelancer, review comparable case studies, ask how findings changed the product and check whether the specialist can communicate clearly with both business and technical teams.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about UX Design, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
UX Design is used to plan and improve how people complete tasks in websites, mobile apps, software and digital services. It covers research, information architecture, interaction flows, prototyping and usability validation.
UX Design focuses on structure, behavior and the overall experience of using a product. UI design concentrates more on visual presentation, while product design usually combines user experience with interface decisions and broader product goals.
A strong UX Design specialist may also bring user research, accessibility, content design, service design and product analytics skills. Experience with Figma, prototyping, usability testing and collaboration with technical teams is often valuable.
The right level for UX Design depends on the product risk, research complexity and stage of delivery. A focused usability review may need a narrower skill set, while a new platform or major service redesign calls for professionals who can lead discovery through validation.
Yes. UX Design can be delivered remotely through shared workspaces, video interviews and collaborative testing tools. Hamburg teams may still prefer on-site workshops or field research when direct contact with users and stakeholders is central to the project.
Bring in a UX Design specialist before development locks in complex flows or during a redesign with unclear user problems. Early involvement helps validate assumptions, reduce rework and give product and technical teams a shared direction.
Review whether UX Design decisions are supported by research, testing or clear product reasoning. Ask to see how a professional moved from findings to flows and prototypes, and check whether the final recommendations are specific enough for the team to act on.
UX Design projects often use Figma for interface work and prototyping, with FigJam or Miro for workshops and journey mapping. Tools such as Maze can support remote testing, but the method and quality of insight matter more than the software itself.
