Web development as craft
I started with HTML, CSS and my first own server. The fascination is still there: turning an idea into something that runs.
About
I am Karl, a product engineer based in Berlin. I build web products and help teams make the right technical decisions — before too much code exists.

01 / Career
A few stations that shaped how I look at products.
Start
I started with HTML, CSS and my first own server. The fascination is still there: turning an idea into something that runs.
Turning point
Over time it became clear: good code does not solve a problem if the problem was misunderstood. Since then, the work starts before the editor.
Today
Web products from the first sketch to operations. Technical depth, clear communication and the willingness to explain decisions.
02 / How I work
Clarity before speed. Speed through clarity.
Understand the problem and the smallest useful step first. Then build. That is faster in the long run.
No big-bang projects. Show something real early, take feedback and choose the next step deliberately.
Not just delivering code, but understanding which decision becomes possible afterwards. Technology is a means, not an end.
03 / Focus
Web apps, TypeScript, full-stack and the question of what is actually needed.
