Product Owner · Neumünster · Remote
Product Owner with a technical background and 13+ years in software development. As a freelancer I build websites, web apps and mobile apps – from first idea to release.
Services
Available for freelance projectsAlongside my full-time role, I take on selected freelance projects – from first concept to production release. I combine product ownership with hands-on delivery and use modern AI tooling as part of my workflow to turn ideas into solid results more quickly.
I deliberately take on only one freelance project at a time – with fixed working windows and a reply usually within 1–2 working days.
Clear, fast websites that showcase your positioning, offer and sales flow – technically clean, SEO-friendly and built in your design language.
Internal tools, customer portals or MVPs for new product ideas – from requirements and data model through API to a usable frontend.
Mobile apps people actually want to open every day – from first idea to store release, backed by more than ten years of app development experience.
Practical guidance on integrating AI into product work and development – from assessing value to introducing team workflows. Entry point: a one-day strategy workshop for a flat €1,900.
Projects
From my own project to platforms in productive use – a selection of work that shows how I actually work.
A personal project I built on my own from the first idea to launch: 128 mountains in real 3D terrain from official elevation models, with documented routes that are drawn onto the mountain as you watch.
React, React Three Fiber (WebGL), TypeScript, pre-rendered pages, custom build pipeline for terrain and route data
A SaaS solution for education and event management – established in the market and in continuous productive use by customers.
A management platform for the real estate sector – already in productive use, further developed and product-managed by me.
Process
Transparent from first contact to delivery – in four clear steps.
A short, no-obligation conversation about your idea, goal and scope.
Clarifying requirements, users and priorities together so the solution actually fits.
A concrete proposal covering approach, effort and timeline – before any code is written.
Development in traceable steps, with regular check-ins through to launch.
Flexible models to match your project:
You get a binding number once the scope is clear – the conversation before that is free.
How I work
Early product ideas often rest on assumptions that haven't been validated yet.
I use research, AI and quick prototypes to sharpen questions, make first solution paths visible and feed insights into further planning early on.
Oversized or unclear initiatives make estimates unreliable and delay the delivery of usable value.
I break requirements down into transparent work packages, clarify dependencies and prioritise together with the team by business value, risk and feasibility.
The later a wrong assumption becomes visible, the higher the cost of correcting it.
I set up early feedback loops with users and stakeholders, review interim results and adjust priorities when needed. That way we spot missteps early and invest deliberately in solutions that hold up.
About
I started as a developer – first with Objective-C and Swift on iOS, later on the web. Over the years the question "Are we building the right thing?" has interested me more than the pure "How do we build it?".
Today I work as a full-time Product Owner. I like teams that take responsibility, short feedback loops and products that explain themselves within a few clicks.
Good products emerge where real problems become visible. I start with people and jobs to be done, not with features.
More than 13 years around software development help me estimate effort realistically and work with teams on equal footing.
Plain language, clear priorities and roadmaps that still hold up three months in.
Focus
I connect business needs, technical feasibility and fast feedback loops into clear next steps.
Career
Responsible for roadmap, prioritisation, requirements and the collaboration with customers, stakeholders and frontend and backend teams for a SaaS solution in education and event management. Accompanying the design process and UI/UX alignment are part of the role. The product is established in the market and in continuous productive use by customers.
Product responsibility for a management platform in the real estate space – discovery, roadmap and delivery. The platform was already in productive use; my role was its continued development and ongoing product management.
Built a native iOS app for an employee experience platform from the ground up with Swift – from the first line of code to its App Store release.
Delivery of native iOS applications and consulting in customer projects – from technical concept to rollout.
Entry into professional software development with a focus on web, mobile, databases and object-oriented engineering.
From the blog
Working with me means working with a view on where AI carries weight in product development and where it does not. Here it is, written out.

Where AI genuinely saves time in a development workflow, where it hits real limits, and why technical understanding becomes more important, not less.

How AI reshapes day-to-day PO work – from backlog and user feedback to a new core skill called „spec review“ – and where the real bottleneck moves.

How sprint planning, refinement, retros, Definition of Done and WIP limits change once AI-assisted development becomes normal – and where new bottlenecks appear.
Frequently asked
Once payment is complete, the source code and all usage rights transfer to you. That's set out in the proposal before we start – no surprises afterwards.
Yes, on request. Many projects move into a maintenance or ongoing-development arrangement after release – scope and cadence are set together, based on what you need.
From a focused landing page to product builds spanning several months – projects typically start at around €2,500. The projects and roles on this page are a good reference point; the free intro call is where we size it for your case.
I deliberately take on only one freelance project at a time – that is what keeps quality and response times stable. Whether a slot is open right now, and from when, I will tell you straight in the first call; I reply to enquiries within 1–2 working days as a rule.
Either, depending on what's needed: I can build hands-on myself, or take on requirements, prioritisation and coordination with your team as Product Owner – or a mix of both.
