INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE ENGINEERAvailable for projects

From the
browser to
the cluster.

Thoughtful interfaces. Resilient systems. I connect the details to the bigger picture — and take care of everything in between.

02 / About

Big-picture thinking.
Detail-level care.

Hi, I’m Kevin. For over twelve years, I’ve been building software people can depend on — from the first interaction to the infrastructure behind it.

I work closely with your team, ask the right questions, and take ownership across the stack. I care as much about sharing knowledge and working well together as I do about the code.

    Quality

    Tests, reviews and releases that are boringly predictable.

  • 02 /

    Performance

    Fast by default, measured rather than guessed.

  • 03 /

    Accessibility

    WCAG 2 is the floor, not a feature.

  • 04 /

    Mentoring

    Teams get better when knowledge moves freely.

03 / Experience

Always learning. Always building.

I started with an apprenticeship at Engel & Völkers in Hamburg. Product teams taught me to see the whole system. Since 2022, I’ve brought that perspective to my work as an independent engineer.
