About

Computer Science graduate (B.Sc., IT Automotive) with six years of hands-on experience at Porsche AG — starting as a dual-study student, then working as an IT Product/Support Specialist, and later as a Software Engineer focused on cloud infrastructure, security, and process automation. After Porsche, I spent about a year as a full-stack developer at the startup youboard, building web and mobile products from the ground up.

I'm currently training to become a commercial pilot, which is why I now take on freelance web development work in flexible blocks — a few focused weeks or months at a time, with lighter availability in between.

Availability

I'm currently available for freelance web development work — best suited to smaller, well-scoped projects:

  • • Building a small web app from scratch
  • • Modernizing a club or business website
  • • Hosting and maintaining web apps and websites

Since I'm mid-training as a commercial pilot, my availability comes in blocks: a few focused weeks or months at a time, with only a few hours a week in between. Get in touch and let's see if the timing works for your project.
