Software Developer · PCB Designer · Founder

Every idea.
Shipped.

I build mobile apps, web platforms, and custom hardware from Berlin — and I ship all of it myself.

Abitur and the HPI Schülerkolleg both completed in 2026. Currently building cactusio full-time.

What I build with.

Six domains, one habit: shipping things that actually work.

Mobile

Cross-platform apps that feel native.

Flutter & Dart for production iOS and Android apps — built, deployed, and maintained end to end.

  • 2 companies founded before finishing school
  • 5+ projects designed, built, and shipped
  • 6 skill domains, one person

Full-stack, from scratch.

Storefronts, dashboards, and custom backend systems — frontend to database.

Hardware

PCBs designed in KiCad.

Security

Security-first.

DDoS protection, hardened auth, and responsible data handling in everything I ship.

Smart Home

Home automation.

Hardware and software that make spaces smarter, built from a genuine hobby.
