Full-stack development & DevOps · Nuremberg, Germany

Software that saves your team real time.

I modernise legacy Excel and Access processes, build web applications and set up the infrastructure they run on reliably – maintainable, self-hosted and GDPR-friendly.

Services

Web apps on open stacks

Business applications, portals and SaaS products with Python (FastAPI, Django), SvelteKit and PostgreSQL – fully open source, no licence fees or vendor lock-in, running on your own infrastructure.

Legacy modernisation

Turning spreadsheets and Access databases into robust web applications. Integrations between ERP systems, databases and portals, process automation with Playwright.

DevOps & self-hosting

CI/CD with GitLab, Docker and Coolify, running Linux servers, and migrating away from third-party services to infrastructure you control.

Consulting

CI/CD strategy, cloud and DevOps transformation and technical design – with a UX background, so the people using the software benefit too.

About me

I am a full-stack developer and DevOps engineer based in Nuremberg. I work as a freelancer and, part-time, as an open-source specialist at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. Before that, at a housing company with around 400 employees, I modernised legacy systems, built integrations between ERP systems and web portals, and introduced GitLab as the central DevOps platform.

My background is in interface design (B.A., FH Potsdam) – so I always think about software from the perspective of the people who use it every day. As a freelancer, I help companies digitise their processes and stay in control of their own infrastructure.
