I develop business applications and modernise existing software.

I build reporting portals, planning tools and software for administrative work. I also take on existing web applications that need updates or further development.

Examples of my work

A reporting portal used by 718 organisations

At ISG Institut, I developed a Laravel portal for organisations submitting documents to a public funding programme in Baden-Württemberg. The application processes submitted files and supports the teams handling them. It went into production in 2025.

Planning teaching assignments without missed conflicts

Teaching plans have to match courses, groups and the hours people have available. I developed a web application that checks teaching assignments and suggests allocations.

An app for day-to-day staff planning

In a kindergarten, rotas, sick notes and daily tasks are often coordinated through notices on the wall and chat messages. I developed an app in which the team can see who is on duty and record changes.

The team is testing the app in a free pilot at a kindergarten in Bavaria.

What I can do for you

You talk directly to the developer who works on your project.

Custom business applications

I build internal portals, administrative software and planning systems. Before I start, we work out which tasks the application should take on and which existing systems it has to connect to.

Taking over and modernising existing software

If an application has been running for years but updates and new features keep slipping, I work my way into the existing code. I take on bug fixes, technical upgrades and new features. My focus is PHP and Laravel applications. I can also look after older WordPress sites.

Hosting and technical maintenance

I can run applications on your existing infrastructure or on servers inside the EU. We agree the scope, backups, monitoring and support to suit the application. That is how I run studiiosaba.com, for example, an artist’s website with a shop and its own editing system.

Technical assessment

Before larger changes, I review the existing application and its dependencies. You then get an estimate of the effort and the next steps. For larger projects, a paid analysis can make sense.

How a project runs

Step 1
Talk through the application or workflow
You explain what already exists and what should change. I check which information is still missing for a realistic estimate.
Step 2
Get a proposal
You receive a written scope with costs and next steps. If the requirements are unclear, a separate analysis may be needed first.
Step 3
Build and hand over
I develop or modernise the application. Operations, support, documentation and usage rights are set out in the contract.

Tell me about your project

Do you want to modernise an existing application or simplify an internal workflow with software? Describe briefly what it is about, and I will get back to you personally.
