01

Projects I work on

A product of my own, a CMS used by thousands of sites, and a system for daycares two continents away.

02

My techstack

The tools I reach for first. Frameworks come and go — most of the work is the same two things underneath: shaping data, and getting it on screen fast.

03

How I got here

Apprenticeship, first real codebase, a diploma, a product of my own. The short version, in order.

  1. August 2021

    Started the apprenticeship

    Informatiker EFZ, Applikationsentwicklung

    Four years of Swiss vocational training — school two days a week, production code the other three. Nothing teaches you how software actually gets built like shipping it while you are still learning the language it is written in.

    Internship at 2sic

    2sxc — CMS for DNN & Oqtane

    My first properly large codebase, built around a rule that every interaction has to land in under a second. Working inside someone else's architecture — and being held to that number — changed how I write my own.

  3. July 2025

    Graduated

    EFZ diploma ceremony

    Qualified as a software developer, with the Berufsmaturität in economics alongside it. Four years of work behind me, and a much clearer idea of what I wanted to build next.

    Rekrutenschule

    Swiss Armed Forces

    Eighteen weeks of basic military service. No IDE, no keyboard, no way to solve a problem by reading the docs — and a genuinely useful reset on discipline and getting things done as part of a team.

  5. May 2026

    Shipped my own SaaS

    Logier

    A universal log parser and visualiser for developers, as a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The first product where every decision is mine — the parser core, the pricing page, and everything I got wrong in between.

  6. September 2026

    Back to school, on purpose

    ZHAW — University of Applied Sciences

    Studying computer science alongside the work. Four years of building things taught me what I can do; this is for the parts I only know how to look up.

Places I turned up

Conferences, ceremonies, a mud run and eighteen weeks of military service. Scroll on — the gallery moves with you.

Been there
