me — the boring facts, from a C64 to Claude

You wanted the boring facts? Here they are. Roughly two decades, mostly as a one-man-army, in reverse order.

Litora-Nova — since late 2024. Building your company of 2028.

BS-Inventory — 12.2024–03.2025. QR-code inventory management. Intranet-only, internal app.

My-Zanzibar-Home — Q1 2024. A real-estate platform for a friend. Fully AI-designed, AI-texted, AI-pictured.

Burnout. ...

FreakFunnels — Q2 2023. An AI-assisted website & funnel builder. Voice-to-Website (back then, context was the limit!). Developer-focused, Vuetify-based styling and grid. In-app model training, usable by non-coders. An AI playground to test different models. A training-data manager.

Demokratischer Widerstand — since 06.2020. News publication.

booking.mymedisyn.ch. A booking platform for medical examinations of all kinds.

mobile-truck-service (not the real name).

smunch. Food by subscription, done sexy. A plan for the office, full freedom for the employees: pick your meal, tax-advantaged, fully integrated into payroll. APIs to all the big German payroll systems (DATEV, Sage, ...), plus predictions. METRO-Techstars Accelerator.

shyftplan. Still the German market leader in shift planning. I built the MVP in 6 weeks.

hellocare. Booking care, simply. PRO7SAT1 Accelerator. Exit.

cleanagents. Acquired by Helpling. Here I only worked as a developer.

orderlift. A simple webshop with simple onboarding via CSV upload, POS, and so on. A 3-day hackathon — we became one of 5 in the YOU IS NOW / ImmobilienScout Accelerator.

Mediengestalter für interaktive Digitalmedien — 2009–2012 (media designer for interactive digital media).

Computer-science studies — 2007–2009. The beginning was absolutely no fun. Interesting, at least — but later... I never wanted to build or design computers. They're already here — just teach me how to use them. So I skipped it.

Some real work — 2001–2007. Advertising agency and sign-making. Ladders and wrenches included — there are still a few signs around Berlin I helped install. But also my first HTML projects.

First invention — 2001. With some friends I kind of invented/designed a continuously variable bicycle gear shift. Nothing came of it — I'd have needed 50k, and I didn't want to take the 1M I could have had.

Highschool — until 2001.


Down here we were still running stable Microsoft systems 🤣 — they called it DOS.

My first computer was a C64.

Favorite game: Maniac Mansion.
