Hello. I am Stefan, a senior fullstack engineer with 30 years of professional experience, based in Berlin.
I build applications for companies as a freelance developer — with TypeScript, React, Node.js, AI.
Experience
I have spent the last 10 years working with React, Node.js, and TypeScript for enterprise customers and startups. Before that, I have worked with C++, Java, and Ruby on Rails for 20 years.
In my 30 years of professional experience I have co-founded two companies, worked as a CTO, team lead, and lead developer, and have written two books about Java. I have coached individuals and teams. I am also a Certified Scrum Master.
In recent projects I have used agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor.

Portfolio
Here are some side projects I have worked on recently:
Recto
WEB APP · PRODUCT ENGINEERING
Every book designer who has built a page plan in InDesign knows the moment: you need to insert a page, and every following page tile has to be moved by hand, every page number updated, one by one. On a 600-page book, that is a lot of work.
“Every time I had to insert a page, I felt like crying.”
Simona, book designer
Many designers skip the page plan entirely and just hold the structure in their head, even though clients want one. I have built Recto to make it easier for designers.
Recto is a visual flat-plan tool for print designers that visualizes a publication the way books are actually made: As pages, spreads, and print sheets.
Built with React, TypeScript, React Router 7, and Supabase.
Smart Rename
macOS app · AI engineering
A macOS app that renames document filenames according to document contents. The app uses an LLM to read the document contents and generate a new filename.
Built with Tauri, React, TypeScript, Rust, and the Vercel AI SDK.
Code

Availability
I am available now for React, Node.js, TypeScript, and AI integration work as a contractor, remotely or in Berlin.
