Senior Backend Developer & Tech Lead
White-label capacity for IT agencies and a holistic IT partner for SMEs. Software Development, ERP/CRM modernization, API integrations, and architecture guidance.
Industries & Business Domains
I would like to expressly thank you for your commitment. The software has decisively and sustainably simplified our daily work. We have become much more efficient and therefore more effective, thorough, transparent, and accurate. Thank you very, very much for that. - Dorina, Germany
Really enjoyed working with him, put a lot of effort into the work and solved all my issues. Really recommend working with him and would love to work with him again in the future! - Jack, Australia
Senior Tech Expertise Without Overhead
Direct, partnership-based collaboration at senior level, pragmatic, transparent, and without unnecessary management layers.
One Direct Point of Contact (Tech Lead)
No "broken telephone" through project managers. You communicate directly with the developer who designs the system architecture and writes the code. Decisions stay fast and clear.
100% Code Ownership & IP Rights
From day one you get full access to the Git repository. All usage and copyright (IP) rights transfer completely to you. No hidden dependencies (vendor lock-in).
Efficient Cost Structure (€80/hr)
Because I don't have to cross-finance agency overhead (sales, offices, management) as an independent senior developer, you invest your budget 100% in productive code and clean architecture.
Full Lifecycle: From Architecture to Go-Live
I don't just handle development, I accompany the entire setup: server infrastructure (Hetzner, AWS, Docker), databases, CI/CD pipelines, and a smooth go-live.
Long-Term Partnership
After go-live, I remain flexibly available as your external tech lead for training, maintenance, hosting support, security updates, and scaling.
Pragmatism Instead of Over-Engineering
From experience with complex ERP and logistics systems, I know: the best software solves a business problem without creating unnecessary technical complexity.

Milestone- and feedback-driven, with a weekly review call as the product evolves.
| Criterion | With me | Classic IT system house | Typical offshore outsourcing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Point of contact | 1 Senior Tech Lead (direct) | Project manager (as intermediary) | Developers (often language barriers) |

| Go-live & hosting | End-to-end support | Usually expensive support contracts | Often ends at code handover |
| Hourly rate | €80 (transparent & efficient) | ~€120 – €180+ | €30 – €60 |
Traditional Code or AI-Powered Development?
Your choice: 100% manual programming or maximum speed with AI Agent Swarms. As your tech lead, I adapt to your requirements, budget, and compliance rules. Architecture and code reviews always stay with me.
Traditional Development: 100% Manual Code
Strict compliance, legacy systems & confidentiality.
Every line of code is written manually by me. No generative AI, no data leaves your systems.
- Highly regulated industries (e.g., medical technology, fintech)
- Legacy system refactoring (Business Central/Navision)
- Strict confidentiality requirements (zero data retention)
- Maximum control, full compliance with your IT security policies
Limitations: Slower time-to-market and higher project costs.
AI Agent Swarms: Maximum Speed
Radical speed, efficiency & fast time-to-market.
A network of AI coding agents (swarms) writes boilerplate code, tests, and standard features. I steer the prompts, orchestrate the output, and audit everything.
- Agencies needing fast white-label capacity
- Startups and MVP development
- Greenfield API integrations
- Significant cost and time savings. More features in the same time
Limitations: Requires modern tech stacks (e.g., Spring Boot, Vue/React) and approval for AI processing of anonymized code.
My Promise as Senior Tech Lead
AI is a scaling tool for me, not a replacement for expertise. Even if a swarm generates thousands of lines in seconds, I review every decision, run strict code reviews, and guarantee a secure, maintainable product. The responsibility stays with me.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work white-label for agencies?
Yes. I work as a subcontracted senior backend developer & tech lead under your brand, on a flexible availability retainer (fixed hours or days per week).
How is pricing structured?
Agencies book a weekly retainer. Companies get a “Build & Run” model: a fixed price for architecture & development plus a monthly flat rate for cloud hosting & maintenance.
How does the process work?
Milestone- and feedback-driven: we hold weekly review calls so the software evolves with your real requirements instead of rigid early specifications.
Which languages do you speak?
I communicate fluently in German and English (plus Portuguese and Turkish).
