About me

I have been self-employed since 2007 and offer my services and products professionally.

From 2007 until around 2014, I worked intensively with the content management system Joomla. During that time, my core tasks included operating Joomla websites, advising other service providers on complex technical issues in their client projects, and developing extensions for Joomla and WordPress.

Since 2014, my focus has been on the development and operation of web applications. I still work directly for clients, but I also distribute my own products such as a document management system, the digital business card, the Link Checker, and the Sitemap Generator.

At their peak, the Joomla extensions and WordPress plugins for the Sitemap Generator and Link Checker had more than 50,000 active installations and over 1,000 daily users.

Since the beginning of my self-employment, I have supported more than 100 mainly small and medium-sized companies from Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. I distribute my products to customers around the world. I live in Spiez, right by beautiful Lake Thun.

My studies can be split into two phases. From 2009 to 2012, I studied computer science at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in Enschede, the Netherlands. At Saxion, I earned a total of 154 ECTS credits, which corresponds to roughly 4,620 hours of work, and completed mainly core computer science modules.

From 2012 to 2014, I studied computer science part-time with a focus on IT security at Bern University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland. At BFH, I earned 48 ECTS credits, which corresponds to roughly 1,440 hours of work.

My core competencies are software development, full-stack with a web focus, IT security, web crawling, and technical SEO. I prefer working with Docker, Go, htmx, and Tailwind CSS, and use PostgreSQL or SQLite where needed.
