Founder and Lead Developer

München, DE
From project manager to founder of a no-code agency — I help startup founders turn their ideas into launched products in a month or less using Bubble, low-code, and AI. After more than 20 years in tech, I traded slow development cycles for speed, building apps that get to market fast without cutting corners on quality.
