You have the idea.
I'll help you turn it into a real product.

You have an idea – maybe even a first prototype or MVP. Now it's about developing a product that people enjoy using and that can grow with your business.

I support you as a technical partner. You bring the vision; I make sure a solid product takes shape, step by step.

This is for you if …

You're founding right now or working on your first digital product.

Maybe you've already built a prototype with Lovable, Bubble, or Figma. Maybe you've even started coding yourself. Now you're looking for someone to handle the technical build, think alongside you, and help you make the right decisions.

Not just for the next month – but for the years ahead.

My Approach

Together, not client and developer

You know your users and your vision. I support you in turning that into a product that works technically and can evolve over the long term.

You stay in charge of the product. I'm the technical sparring partner at your side.

Built on a solid foundation from the start

A fast start matters. So does not having to rebuild everything later.

That's why we make technical decisions so your product can grow with new features, more users, and new ideas – without unnecessary compromises.

Learn early with real users

The best decisions don't come from a whiteboard – they come from real feedback.

That's why we get your product into users' hands as early as possible. You learn faster what works, avoid unnecessary development, and invest your time where it makes the biggest difference.

Modern development – used pragmatically

AI can significantly speed up development. I use it where it improves quality or saves time.

In the end, what matters isn't how something was built – but that your product works reliably, stays understandable, and can evolve smoothly in the future.

How we work together

A clear path from idea to product – depending on where you are right now.

1. Clarify & validate

You'll know whether and how your idea can become a product

You get:

  • Clarity on what makes sense next – and what doesn't
  • A realistic picture of effort, risks, and next steps
  • Confidence that you're not investing blindly in the wrong direction

Typical starting point:

  • You have an idea, a prototype (e.g. Lovable, Bubble, Figma), or early code
  • You want to understand what the path to a real product looks like

2. Build the real product

You put the first version in the hands of real users

You get:

  • A product people can actually use – not just a demo prototype
  • A foundation you can build on, instead of hitting a dead end
  • Regular feedback and visible progress on the way to launch

Typical starting point:

  • You're ready to move beyond the prototype and bring something real to market
  • You need someone to handle the build and think alongside you

3. Stabilize & scale

Your product grows with you – without tech becoming the bottleneck

You get:

  • A product that handles more users and new features
  • Clarity on technical decisions – without a full-time CTO
  • The freedom to focus on your business while the tech keeps up

Typical starting point:

  • Users are coming, features are growing – and you feel the tech needs to keep pace

Experience that benefits your product

2018 – 2025 · Chief Technology Officer

Munich Startup / FinTech

As technical co-founder, I helped build a FinTech startup from zero to over 1 million euros in annual revenue – over seven years:

  • Co-developed the product from first version to growing company
  • Knew what was enough at the start – and what only mattered later
  • Worked closely with founders, product, and investors
  • Made sure stability and growth worked together

For you, that means: you work with someone who's walked the path from idea to growing product before – and knows where founders hit dead ends and how to avoid them.

Academic background

PhD – Bioinformatics · Diploma – Biology · BSc – Physics

That helps you especially when your product involves complex or data-intensive challenges – and you need someone who gets up to speed quickly and finds solutions that hold up long term. Publications: Google Scholar.

Your idea becomes a product

Tell me about your idea, send a link to your prototype, or describe where you're stuck. I deliberately work with only 1–2 projects at a time – so your product gets the attention it deserves.
