I’ve been living in Hamburg since 2018 and have loved every moment of it. I’ve worked with major companies like XING and Shopify, and currently, I’m developing apps for Apple platforms as an independent app developer at fruitful apps.
My career began as a backend developer (primarily with Ruby and Ruby on Rails), but for the past few years, I’ve been working as a full-stack developer, focusing mainly on TypeScript, React, and React Native. Since I transitioned to Apple developer, I’ve also become proficient in Swift and SwiftUI. I take full ownership of the products I work on, not just writing code but striving to improve the overall product. That’s why I consider myself a product-minded developer.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new spots around Hamburg, cycling, cooking, blogging, podcasting, and spending time in nature. I’m passionate about minimalism, stoicism, environmentalism, and financial independence.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.

What drives me is the joy of learning, understanding how things work, and delving into the reasons behind what we do. I’m a naturally curious person, which is why I read so many books to feed my curiosity. Rather than specializing in one field, I prefer to learn about various topics and connect them in creative ways. This approach helps me generate new ideas and think outside the box, which is why I see myself as a generalist.
I’ve been blogging since 2008, though not consistently. This time, I’m committed to writing more often. On this blog, you’ll find posts on software development, books, productivity, minimalism, product reviews, life in Germany, environmentalism, travel, food, cycling, tech, and personal finance.
