I'm a self-employed senior software engineer and consultant with 15+ years of experience building and scaling web applications with proven technologies.
Based in Vienna, Austria, together with my wife and our two kids, I balance family life with my passion for running - currently training for a sub-20-minute 5k this year (read: I get up very early).
What excites me is working with people who share my passion for building great products and services. There's hardly any better feeling than solving business needs from day one and seeing a product come to life.
My favorite stack is a combination of Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, and HTML/Tailwind CSS/Hotwire. I'm also comfortable operating services on all kinds of platforms - starting from root servers, over PaaS, up to Kubernetes clusters and other cloud solutions and providers.
While I consider Ruby on Rails to be the perfect framework for building web applications, I'm also well versed in other technologies such as Python/FastAPI, Vue.js, and React, and like to tip my toes into new technologies and frameworks, such as Elixir and Erlang.
Most recently, I was part of a startup that scaled from its beginnings to enterprise clients in the reverse logistics and returns space, helping major retailers turn returns into revenue and sustainability wins.
Before that, I managed the development of a solutions-product for maritime safety operations, led a team building a medical drug information and interaction system, co-founded a startup analyzing real estate transactions, and prototyped software for air traffic and maritime control centers.
I've worked together with these awesome folks on various projects over the last couple of years: Fritz and Wolfgang. Together we will tackle the most challenging projects.
