My interest in computers has existed for as long as I can remember. In my childhood and youth, I taught myself HTML and CSS. Later, Visual Basic.NET and PHP. <\/p>\n

At 18, I began my apprenticeship as an IT specialist and, thanks to my extensive prior knowledge, was able to take on my own project very early on: a configurator for the sale of kitchen appliances.
Furthermore, the company also developed its own shop system, which paved my way into e-commerce. After my apprenticeship, I worked for some time at the same company, where I was able to simplify the daily work of online retailers by integrating with merchandise management systems and payment providers. <\/p>\n

From the very beginning, I was always interested in not just writing code that works, but also ensuring it is understandable and that the underlying architecture remains maintainable. That's why I also spend my free time exploring patterns, methods, and soft skills in software development. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In 2017, I moved to Billbee GmbH, and at the same time, I founded my own business to focus on my own projects.
Thus, in my day-to-day work, I continued to work as a developer and architect in the e-commerce industry, where I simplified many processes for online merchants (e.g., connecting shop systems to retrieve orders and shipping service providers to create shipments), and alongside that, I implemented other exciting projects, such as mobile apps or kiosk systems for trade fairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In mid-2025, I decided to fully concentrate on my self-employment. So, in December 2025, I resigned from my permanent position and am now moving forward with even more energy for my mission. <\/p>\n

My mission is not only to develop software<\/strong> but also to pass on my knowledge and experience as a mentor<\/strong> to other developers and architects.<\/p>\n

While software is not an end in itself, one should still try to design it as well as possible!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

My Values<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Excellence<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For me, quality is reflected not only in code but also in clear, reliable communication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Partnership<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

I see my work as a collaborative partnership at eye level, focusing on long-term added value.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Continuous Learning<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For me, continuous professional development is not a compulsion, but something I do out of interest and joy in good work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Pragmatism<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For me, a solution is good if it works \u2013 without unnecessary complexity or dogmatic rules.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Knowledge Transfer<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

It is important to me that clients can still understand what was done even after some time. Therefore, documentation is a crucial aspect of my approach. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Transparency<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Sugarcoating things doesn't help anyone. Open communication and honest feedback are important to me. I don't make decisions based on gut feelings. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

My Network<\/h2>\n

For larger projects, I collaborate with a proven network of project-based partners \u2013 specialized experts whom I bring in for optimal staffing:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
