The Journey

From first websites
to enterprise AI delivery.

Nine years of shipping - from weekend freelance HTML at 14, through a first-class AI degree, two company foundations, and now engineering trusted AI for the Big 4.

2017 - 2020

Full-Stack Web Development

Freelance · consult.IN e.V. · Ingolstadt

Started shipping websites at 14 for local SMEs - restaurants, craftsmen, small e-commerce. Learned the craft end-to-end: turning a client conversation into a live product. Later joined consult.IN e.V. (Oct 2020 - Feb 2022), a student consulting initiative in Ingolstadt, where client-facing delivery became second nature.

  • Built and shipped 15+ websites and landing pages for SMEs
  • Custom WordPress themes, Stripe & PayPal payment integrations
  • Responsive, SEO-optimised, Lighthouse > 90 on launch
  • End-to-end delivery: discovery → design → dev → deploy → maintain
