Hi, I'm Phil.
Freelance developer based in Hamburg. I build web apps, websites and automations for small businesses — solutions that simply work.
Small businesses don't have an IT department.
Large corporations have entire departments for software. Small businesses have you — the founder or owner who does everything themselves. That's exactly where I come in.
I know the problem first-hand: too many repetitive tasks, not enough time for the things that actually matter. With web apps, websites and automation I eliminate exactly these time-killers — whether it's a booking platform for your operations, a landing page for your brand, or a workflow that gives you hours back.
My focus: Not the fancy enterprise solution, but the web app or automation that saves you ten hours a week starting tomorrow.

for lean projects
Four principles.
How I approach every project — whether it's a web app, a website or an n8n workflow.
Pragmatic over perfect
80 % running tomorrow beats 100 % that never ships. We start small and iterate fast.
Privacy first
Your data is yours. Self-hosted on German servers, no cloud lock-in.
Transparency
No black box. You understand what's happening, can adjust it yourself, aren't dependent on me.
ROI focused
Every line of code must earn its keep. We measure time saved and optimise continuously.
The stack.
The tools I love building with — all battle-tested, all self-hostable.
Web Apps
React, TypeScript, Supabase, Astro, Next.js
Automation
n8n (main focus), Make, custom scripts
AI Integration
Claude, OpenAI, RAG, agents, document processing
Infrastructure
Docker, Hetzner, Caddy, self-hosting
