📍NYC

As an experienced technical founder and CTO, I have built more products from scratch than most.

I find it hard to resist good product ideas. Thinking of a technical challenge on Friday, I often find myself deploying a demo of a new product by Monday.

Wanting to find out how things work & improving my own skills are two of my driving forces. All of these experiences have turned me into a driven entrepreneur and a top-tier freelancer.

🎥 I recorded a quick intro video.

Projects 🧪

I’ve built products for my own startups and worked with big companies across the EU and the United States. You can always find an up to date portfolio at https://spreen.co.

Feel free to ask me for details on any of the work you see on my portfolio. My CV offers a more in-depth explanation for some of the projects.

Technologies 📻

Full-stack engineer is a difficult term to use. For many it means jack of all trades, master of none. I strive to be the exception to the rule, and have shown excellence across the stack.

My specialty is iOS app development, where I’ve won the Apple WWDC Scholarship Award in 2019.

On the web, I’ve worked on many Vue.js projects. Immowelt’s proficard stands out as one of the most interesting challenges.

The backend is where I’ve started my tech career, and I’ve seen many server-side technologies over the years. I’ve built countless AWS Lambda micro-services for Linearity to reduce their cloud spent by 90% while drastically reducing their downtime incidents. In 2020 I wrote a master’s thesis on Kubernetes, and between container orchestration and serverless infrastructure I’ve worked with many different architecture paradigms.

Values 🫀

Few moments have impacted my life as much as getting the O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary abilities. Most people in my network get big ticket VC investments or work for renown FAANG companies to fulfill the O-1 criteria. Getting this visa as a freelancer was a long process and is one of the achievements I’m most proud of.

I strive for excellence, and only put my name on work that I’m proud of. I have high standards for the projects & companies I work with, and aim to have even higher standards for myself. You won’t find me cutting corners and compromising on quality. I don’t settle when it comes to the work I do.
