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.
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.
August 2024
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.
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.
January 2026
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.
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.
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.
04
Places I turned up
Conferences, ceremonies, a mud run and eighteen weeks of military service. Scroll on — the gallery moves with you.
Jan 2026
