Frontend & Full-Stack Development · Cologne

Modern web applications — from idea to production.

Frontend developer focused on Angular, React and TypeScript. I build production Next.js applications including backend, database and deployment, keep them reliable with automated tests, and use AI deliberately as part of the engineering process.

Capabilities

What I take on

  • Frontend engineering

    Modern web applications with Angular, React, Next.js and TypeScript — reusable components, responsive interfaces and maintainable architecture.

  • Full-stack development

    Node.js, APIs, authentication, databases, business logic and administration interfaces through to deployment and production environments.

  • Test automation

    Automated testing with Playwright, Cypress and Jest, wired into CI/CD — for applications that stay reliable.

  • Product & delivery

    Requirements analysis, architectural decisions, code reviews, technical coordination with product owners and clients, and responsibility for production operation.

AI-assisted development

AI in the engineering process

AI is part of my development workflow — not a replacement for engineering.
