Full-stack development
Custom software for research, monitoring, archives, and data-driven tools. Scraping, processing, visualisation. Berlin-based, remote-friendly.
Available for projects starting Q3 2026
I build custom web applications end-to-end - frontend, backend, data layer. Most engagements are research-heavy and data-driven: monitoring tools, searchable archives, internal platforms, and interactive visualisations that turn messy information into something people can use.
My clients are civic-tech organisations, journalists, researchers, and small businesses. They need software that works, not agency theatre.
If you are a nonprofit and mainly need contact management, memberships, donations, or newsletter flows rather than a custom app, see my CiviCRM offering.
What I offer
Full-stack web development
- Custom platforms for investigations, election monitoring, archives, and public-interest research
- Search, filtering, admin workflows, exports, and editorial backends
- Public-facing sites plus internal dashboards where needed
- Good fit for journalism, advocacy, watchdog, and research teams
Data collection & processing
- Web scraping and automated collection from websites, documents, and public sources
- Cleaning, matching, enrichment, geocoding, and document parsing
- ETL pipelines for recurring monitoring and reporting
- NLP / ML when it materially improves the result, not as decoration
Interactive visualisation & discovery
- Searchable archives, maps, timelines, dashboards, and exploratory tools
- Custom charts and embeds for reports, investigations, and campaigns
- Interfaces that help non-technical teams explore data themselves
- Accessible, maintainable, and built for real editorial use
How I work
- Start with a free 20-min intro call — you describe the problem, I listen, we decide if it’s a fit.
- Prototype first, ship early, iterate on real feedback.
- Fixed-scope or retainer, typically 2-12 weeks.
- Open source when possible, NDAs when the work requires it.
- Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
