The person behind the code

Hi, I'm Thomas – Fullstack freelancer with tech passion and startup DNA

My enthusiasm for technology started early – like many others, first with gaming consoles, later with my first computer. But the decisive moment came during high school: In the IT class, I realized for the first time how much software development fascinates me. The hours flew by – and that's when it was clear that I wanted to make more of this.

After studying Computer Science at the Technical University of Central Hesse in Gießen, I turned my passion for software development into a career.

Today I develop web and mobile applications with Next.js, React, Tailwind and TypeScript in the frontend as well as Python and AI integrations in the backend. I love greenfield projects where I can think along, help shape and build scalable architectures from the beginning.

Why I prefer working with startups

I enjoy working with people who are passionate about their ideas. That's exactly what I find with founders, startups and individuals with a clear vision. It's important to me not just to implement, but also to think along, question and take responsibility. I'm not a developer who just works through tasks – but a sparring partner who communicates honestly, thinks along but also implements.

Personally motivated, technically curious

"If I could have gone further in my career, I would have done it."

My parents came back to Germany as Russian Germans and had to build a new life here. This sentence from my father accompanies me to this day. It motivates me to be brave, take responsibility and go new ways – both in life and in technology.

When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me at the gym or at Marvel movies in the cinema or eating. I do Natural Bodybuilding – in 2018 I stood on stage at the GNBF and won 2nd place in the Junior Bodybuilding category up to 21 years Over 75kg.
