A bit about me
With 13+ years of experience, I'm a full stack developer who went from fixing luxury cars to building developer tools and AI systems.
My journey started with a car mechatronics apprenticeship at a Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin & Bentley specialist in Salzburg. I was the guy who fixed the cars, handled IT support, and learned that complex systems are just puzzles waiting to be solved. That hands-on problem-solving mindset stuck with me.
I moved into tech support and team leadership roles, eventually founding my own companies. At Sovendus, I led the integration team and built developer-hub.sovendus.com with 20+ platform-specific plugins. The goal was always the same: reduce friction, empower developers, and build tools that actually solve problems.
These days I'm working on utilizing AI and looking for my next challenge in AI and/or cross-platform development. I still fix my own car, phone, and washing machine - because why pay for skills you have? I believe in building teams that become close friends, writing code that lasts, and always questioning if there's a better way.
Professional Experience
My journey from car technician to senior developer - building solutions, leading teams, and creating impact across industries.
Sovendus
•Remote(Full-time)
Led the integration team. Partners were struggling with onboarding, so I built tools that let them help themselves. Turned a reactive support nightmare into a proactive developer experience.
a42
•Remote(Freelance)
Freelance work building whatever clients needed - mostly via Upwork. Trading bots, websites, AI stuff, social media tools. If someone would pay me to build it, I'd figure out how.
Samsung Switzerland
•Switzerland(Full-time)
Led the Swiss business tech support team. Coordinated between subcontractors and global teams to solve enterprise hardware and software issues that nobody else wanted to touch.
netsepp KG (now viybs.com)
•Austria, Hallein(Full-time)
Co-founded an IT support company. Started with private customers fixing phones and laptops, grew into a full IT consultancy. Built the team, the systems, and eventually sold it to a former colleague.
expert-service.at (now notebook-repair-corner.at)
•Austria, Salzburg(Full-time)
My first company. Fixed phones, laptops, tablets, printers - whatever broke, we fixed it. Started right after my car mechanic apprenticeship because I wanted to work with tech instead of oil changes.
Formal Education
From fixing Ferraris to building software - the unconventional path
Salzburg, Austria
Leadership training and discipline (mostly just discipline)
Karner & Grossegger, Salzburg (Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin & Bentley specialist)
Diagnosing and fixing luxury cars, electronic systems, and learning that everything is just systems talking to each other
- •Passed final apprenticeship exam (officially a car mechanic)
- •Specialized in luxury vehicle diagnostics and retrofitting electronics
- •Became the unofficial IT support guy because I was the only one who understood computers
- •Attended seminars on personality, appearance, and communication (learned to talk to rich people)
Neumarkt (Department of Electrical Engineering)
Electrical engineering basics - where I learned Ohm's law and soldering
Things I've built & shipped
SaaS platforms, trading bots, custom frameworks, and developer tools. Some are live in production, some are still in development, and a few are retired but taught me valuable lessons.
SaaS platform that connects to 20+ newsletter systems through one simple API. Built it because managing leads across Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Salesforce, and others was a nightmare. Now it's just one API call.
- •Single API connecting to 20+ newsletter platforms
- •PayPal subscription billing with multiple tiers

Widget platform that runs on 20+ platforms from one codebase. SSR + client hydration, <14KB runtime, sub-50ms API responses. Works on iOS, Android, WordPress, Shopify, React, Vue - basically everywhere. Write once, actually deploy everywhere.
- •Built my own Next.js-like framework with custom compiler
- •SSR + client hydration with <14KB runtime

WordPress successor, but AI-native. Built on Next.js with my own framework. Write one API definition with Zod schema, get CLI command, web page, AI tool, and cron job automatically. The AI can use each API as a tool based on user roles. Because defining things once is better than four times.
- •One definition.ts file becomes CLI, web page, AI tool, and cron job
- •AI-native architecture where every API is an AI tool

A sophisticated trading bot platform built on OctoBot with a revolutionary visual strategy designer. Features drag-and-drop strategy building, multi-threaded backtesting, real-time simulation, and neural network integration. Supports 50+ technical indicators with modular block-based architecture for creating complex trading strategies on crypto and stock markets.
- •Visual Strategy Designer with drag-and-drop interface for connecting 50+ indicators
- •Multi-threaded backtesting engine utilizing all CPU cores for parallel execution

Comprehensive lead generation and email marketing platform with automated email sequences, social media management, and business automation. Features multi-stage email campaigns, lead nurturing, order management, and integrated IMAP/SMTP email handling.
- •Automated email marketing campaigns with 300% growth messaging
- •Multi-stage lead nurturing sequences (personal, results-focused, urgency-based)

Documentation platform with a custom markdown renderer that pulls docs from where they actually live - right next to the code in each plugin's repo. Tired of docs getting out of sync? This solves it. Each plugin documents itself, the platform renders it all together. Part of a bigger picture: better docs meant fewer support tickets, which meant more time to improve plugins and testing tools.
- •Custom server-side markdown renderer that pulls docs from code repositories
- •Went from scattered PDFs and multiple versions all over the place to one unified platform

Created 20+ integration plugins from scratch with the team. One codebase, 20+ platforms - Shopify, Magento, Shopware, Vue, React, Svelte, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, you name it. Built a system where platform-specific stuff is just overrides on a unified core. Write the integration logic once, adapt the platform quirks as needed. Each release got better because we had more time to polish instead of firefighting support tickets.
- •Built 20+ plugins from scratch - didn't exist before
- •Unified codebase architecture for all platforms and frameworks

Browser extension that catches integration mistakes right when they happen. Near 100% detection rate - if something's wrong, it finds it. In 90% of cases it nails down exactly what the issue is. The other 10% it gives a generic error with test result data so the team can reproduce and debug. The final piece of the puzzle: docs + plugins + testing tool = virtuous cycle where each release freed up more time to improve everything.
- •Near 100% detection rate for integration issues
- •90% of cases get exact error pinpointing, rest get generic error with reproduction data
