Frontend Development
Pixel-perfect, accessible UIs in React and TypeScript. Performance-first — Lighthouse 95+ is the floor, not the ceiling.
I'm Lukas — a freelance developer with 9 years of experience crafting web products for startups and mid-sized companies across Europe. React, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS.
Based in Frankfurt am Main, I've been building web products since 2015. I work closely with product teams to turn ideas into fast, accessible, and maintainable software — from early MVP all the way to production scale.
My background is in computer science (TU Darmstadt, 2014), and I've spent the last several years specialising in React ecosystems and serverless AWS architectures. I care deeply about developer experience, documentation, and shipping things that don't break at 2 AM.
When I'm not at my desk, I'm usually cycling along the Main river, reading about distributed systems, or arguing about coffee.
End-to-end product development or targeted expertise — whatever your project needs.

REST and GraphQL APIs in Node.js. Serverless AWS Lambda functions. Reliable, well-documented, properly tested.
AWS architecture design, Terraform, cost optimisation. I've migrated monoliths to cloud-native and lived to tell the story.
User flows, design systems, component libraries. I bridge the gap between design files and production code.
A few things I've built recently. NDA projects shown with client permission.
B2B SaaS expense analytics platform for a Frankfurt fintech startup. Built the entire frontend in React + TypeScript, integrated with AWS Cognito for auth and Lambda/DynamoDB for data. Handles 80k+ transactions per day.
Two-sided marketplace connecting local service providers with customers across the DACH region. Next.js with SSR for SEO, Node.js/Express API, PostgreSQL. Launched in 3 months from first commit.
Patient appointment and records management for a private medical practice group in Munich. GDPR-compliant data handling, end-to-end encrypted notes, SMS reminders via Twilio.
"Lukas delivered the MVP two weeks ahead of schedule. The code quality was exceptional — our internal team had no trouble taking ownership after handoff. Would hire again without hesitation."
"Working with Lukas felt like having a senior engineer and a product manager in one. He asked the right questions, caught edge cases we hadn't thought of, and shipped a rock-solid platform."
"GDPR compliance for healthcare is notoriously difficult. Lukas not only understood the requirements but proposed architecture solutions I hadn't considered. Clean, documented, secure."
I'm currently available for freelance projects starting June 2026. If you have a project in mind or just want to say hello, drop me a message.
Thanks for reaching out. I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
