Hi, I'm Joel
Making software & solving problems
For over eight years I've been building software — full-stack, from the idea to running it in production.
Founder, Full-Stack Developer & Technical Lead
My passion for software development began as early as age 12, with Java. At 18 I registered my first business, spent a total of 7 years freelancing as a software developer, and worked several years as a Technical Lead.
Today I have broad experience delivering a wide range of projects, from small applications to complex software solutions.
I currently work as a Senior Software Engineer at maxcluster, a team.blue company. There I build control & management software for more than 6,000 servers.
On top of that, I run my own start-up, Lokale Momente, a digital marketplace for booking local experiences & ticketing, which I built myself.
Selected work
Lokale Momente
A cross-regional marketplace for local experiences — workshops, tours, events. I built the platform, the provider dashboard and the mobile app, and I run them today.
E-Connect Interface
A central interface that connects ERP, online shops, marketplaces and logistics in real time — keeping products, prices and stock in sync across multiple languages and channels.
maxcluster / team.blue
Management and control software for over 6,000 Linux servers — with a clear focus on AI-powered development and high test coverage.
Bionatic
As Technical Lead, I introduced Shopify as the new e-commerce platform, connected ERP, shops and logistics into a single system landscape, and developed internal tools as well as market-ready SaaS solutions.
EasyDAM
A tool to manage, categorize and share media centrally — with automatic AI tagging, encryption at rest and hassle-free sharing. A project born out of my own need.
foodsta
An all-in-one platform for the food-service industry with its own digital ordering system — without high commissions and as simple as possible.
NORTHPOL
A SaaS platform that lets online shops offset CO₂ at checkout — integrated with Shopware and Shopify, backed by certified climate projects.
