For small and mid-sized businesses

Clarity for your software and your ideas.

I help small and mid-sized businesses unblock software projects, shape product ideas and use AI where it makes sense — from decisions through to implementation.

Over 30 years of professional software experience, starting during my computer science studies and including IBM and PwC. Based in Hamburg, still hands-on with code.

How can I help?

Three common situations where we can find your next step together.

Experience that helps

Understand complexity. Find solutions together.

I combine experience from international projects at IBM and IT strategy consulting at PwC with hands-on work on software and my own products.

A look at my work

Decisions that make a difference.

Two documented examples from my own projects show how I approach technical questions. They are not client references.

Kinpal: architecture for a live alert

The situation
The alert needed location updates on a live map. The first design used Cloudflare KV for those updates.
The decision
Research revealed limits on write frequency and freshness. I chose a separate storage area for each alert and a direct connection to the live map.
What emerged
The alert server uses one Durable Object per alert and WebSockets for the live map. The project story also describes app-store progress at the time of writing.

One control room for six computers

The situation
Six computers with AI agents produced separate conversations and repeated questions.
The decision
A shared control room gathers proposals; I make the approval decisions, and only predefined commands can be executed.
What emerged
In the first documented run, four cleanups were approved and the project story reports about 78 GB freed.
