Hi, I'm Michael – a software engineer with 12+ years of experience delivering enterprise-grade solutions.I honed my engineering skills at Vector Informatik in the automotive industry, where C/C++ taught me the importance of performance and reliability. Today, I specialize in full-stack development with TypeScript and cloud-native architectures.Since 2021, I've been partnering with companies across Germany and Europe as a freelance consultant. My commitment: CET timezone availability, consistent business hours presence, and the engineering rigor of my German technical background.Operating from the EU means zero overhead, no commute distractions – just focused delivery on your project. From legacy modernization to cloud migrations to scaling challenges – I own the problem and ship the solution.Available immediately. Daily syncs, iterative delivery, complete transparency.

FAQ

Do you work with companies across Europe? Yes. I'm a registered EU freelancer and have been working with German and European clients since 2021. Invoicing follows standard EU Reverse Charge procedures – simple, compliant, and hassle-free for you.
What about availability and timezone? I work in German timezone (CET/CEST) and am available during standard business hours. On-site meetings are possible when needed.
How does invoicing work? Standard EU invoicing using the Reverse Charge mechanism (§13b Abs.2 UStG). Your company handles VAT as with any EU contractor – no extra complexity.
