Products that ship. Systems that scale.

I build your product and the platform under it: Kubernetes, Nix, continuous delivery. Hands-on in your team, and the knowledge stays. Hamburg & remote.

What I do

Hands-on, alongside your team, so the knowledge stays when I leave.

  1. Modern Product Engineering

    End to end, from infrastructure to UI: I strengthen your team’s strategic problem solving, agile development in small increments and close ties to real user feedback.

  2. Continuous Delivery

    From brittle release pipelines to continuous delivery: trunk-based development, reliable test automation and one automated path to production.

  3. Platform Engineering

    Developer platforms and toolchains your teams own: Kubernetes, GitOps and reproducible environments with Nix and devenv, so every developer and every CI run uses the same tools.
