14+Years Experience

Hi, I'm Phillipp

I turn complex ideas into scalable digital solutions. As a fullstack developer and AWS architect, I build products that create real value—from mobile apps to cloud infrastructure.

About Me.

Over the past years, I’ve worked as a Software Engineer and CTO, building everything from sleek mobile apps to scalable cloud architectures.

I'm passionate about technology and always eager to learn and explore new ideas. Thanks to my broad technical knowledge and hands-on experience across mobile, web, and cloud, I’m able to build solutions that are both robust and future-proof.

I believe great collaboration is key: I enjoy working as part of a team, communicating clearly, and staying organized and proactive throughout every project phase.

Technically, I specialize in:

  • 🚀 Mobile Apps - Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
  • 🔗 Backend - Golang, Node.js, scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
  • ☁️ Cloud - AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, RDS & more)
  • 💻 Web - Next.js, React

For me, great software isn’t just about clean code and performance — it’s about delivering sustainable solutions that continue to create value over time.

Mobile Apps

I build innovative mobile apps that look great, run smoothly, and scale effortlessly. With Flutter, I create cross-platform apps that feel native on iOS and Android. Need a fully native solution? I've got Swift and Kotlin covered.

But a great app is more than just code - it needs a solid architecture, seamless backend integration, and a cloud infrastructure that can scale with your users. That's why I bring my fullstack expertise to the table, ensuring your app isn’t just built, but built to last.
