My work has covered CRM platforms, browser extensions, media applications, integrations and teaching. Some projects started on Fiverr and grew into direct, recurring client relationships.

My Fiverr profile

Still close to the code.

I started taking on client work while studying software engineering. Those early projects taught me to ask better questions, work through unfamiliar problems, and see things through.

Today, I’m building Coding Cords and leading software delivery at Swiss Strategic Development Group. I care about the whole job: understanding what’s needed, building it well, and looking after it once it’s live.
