I'm building NextUp with my CODE team and SwissEduSolution as one of three, and I ship my own apps on the side. From the first line of code to the server it runs on.

About

From Wil to Berlin

WilSchoolIsoneMilitary serviceBerlinCODE University

I started with websites for restaurants and bars around Wil, where I went to school. My first client is still with me, almost three years later.

Then came my own products: Vocafy, because the vocabulary tool I used kept getting it wrong, and School Companion, now in both app stores.

After my Matura and a year of Swiss military service, I moved to Berlin in 2026 to study Business Management & Entrepreneurship at CODE University, and to build companies with other people.

Work with me

Websites, apps and the servers they run on

I still build for clients: small businesses that want one person who takes it from idea to live site and keeps it running.

Websites

Multi-page sites in German and English with React and Next.js. Fast, easy to find on Google, and legally complete.

Apps

Cross-platform apps for iOS and Android with React Native and Expo, all the way to the store release.

Hosting & care

I host and look after what I build, so it keeps running after launch.

Building something? Let's talk.

A project, a venture to build together, or a role to talk through. I read every message myself.
