I support you from idea to launch – and beyond

  1. 01

    Discovery & Planning

    We discuss your project and figure out exactly how I can support you. If everything fits, we create a detailed roadmap. We define and prioritise the most important features before development begins.

  2. 02

    Development & Testing

    During development I implement the agreed features by priority. I focus on clean code, regular updates, and thorough testing to ensure quality. You receive regular updates and feedback rounds to make sure we stay on track.

  3. 03

    Launch & Support

    When you're ready to go live, I take care of deployment and long-term operation. We continue to develop further features and improve the product as needed.

Testimonials

There aren’t many true full-stack developers. Fewer still can take on deeply complex problems and genuinely solve them. Nils is both, and more. He brings technical depth, clarity of thought, and a calm, reliable presence to every project. A highly respected and recommended addition to any team. And when he’s not coding, he’s out training for triathlons; a true embodiment of work hard, code hard, play hard. On all fronts, Nils is a machine.

At objego, I worked with Nils in different teams and phases of the company - from greenfield features to legacy migrations. What always impressed me was how quickly he could slot into new setups and immediately start contributing real value. He brings a strong mix of technical depth, calm communication, and the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. You always felt in good hands when Nils was involved.

Nils war einer der ersten, die unser Produkt technisch mit aufgebaut hat. Mit seiner strukturierten Arbeitsweise, Flexibilität und klaren Kommunikation hat er maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, dass wir schnell vom Konzept zur funktionierenden Lösung kamen. Besonders wertvoll war seine Fähigkeit, Unklarheiten in Anforderung proaktiv und kreativ zu lösen und ein gutes Auge für UI.

Am I the right developer for you?

“Yes, if you...”

  • Have an existing SaaS product and want to get AI features (LLMs, chatbots, automations) into production quickly – without months of internal ramp-up
  • Lead a small dev team (3–5 developers) and need senior-level expertise that can contribute immediately rather than needing to be trained first
  • Expect results in numbers: load times, deployment frequency, time-to-market – not just “clean code”

“Probably not, if you...”

  • Are still in the pre-product phase and need to validate your product vision first – in that case, I recommend a product coach first
  • Have a fixed spec document and are looking for someone to implement it without asking questions
  • Are looking for a developer for a single marketing page or a prototype – my focus is on more complex SaaS products
