About

An architect who’s easy to work with

I’m Kim — a software architect and consultant. For 12+ years I’ve helped teams turn complex requirements into reliable, fast web platforms.

My work sits where systems meet: the interfaces between ERP, shop and content platform, decoupled architectures, and the AWS infrastructure it all runs on. I’ve built and operated everything from enterprise TYPO3 systems to performance-critical Nuxt applications — and I’m just as comfortable rescuing a project as starting one.

What clients tend to value most isn’t a specific framework — it’s having someone who makes architecture decisions and stands behind them. I keep things pragmatic, communicate clearly, and leave codebases better than I found them.

I work remotely with teams across Europe and beyond, from my base in Germany. If you’re building something that matters and can’t afford to get the engineering wrong, that’s exactly the kind of work I’m here for.

How I work

The way I like to operate

A few principles that shape every engagement.

Outcomes over output

I care about the result you can measure, not the hours logged. Every engagement is anchored to a goal we agree up front.

No lock-in

I build things your team can own. Clean code, real documentation, and knowledge transfer are part of the deal — not an upsell.

Honest counsel

If a simpler, cheaper or different path serves you better, I’ll say so. The fastest way to lose a good client is to sell them the wrong thing.

Architectural ownership

You get my hands and my judgement — architecture decisions, trade-offs and code review, not just tickets closed.
