Software development for Esslingen am Neckar

Yes, with Esslingen University I delivered the PraktiMatch project, a matching platform around internships and practical phases. The project shows well how I work: requirements were sharpened together with everyone involved, delivery ran in stages with versions that could be tested early, and the application is closely aligned with the university's workflows. From this collaboration I also know the formal side of public-sector clients, from data protection under the GDPR to documentation and coordination with multiple stakeholders. Other projects such as the culture app Kultio or the BFSG check on tflit.com give you an impression of range and quality. I am happy to show you details of PraktiMatch and the other projects in person, in Esslingen or in a video call.

Yes, universities, municipalities and other public institutions are among my core target groups. I know the conditions that apply there: procurement processes, data protection requirements under the GDPR, documentation duties and accessibility, which is mandatory for public bodies anyway and, with the German BFSG, now affects many private services as well. Technically I rely on open, well-documented tools like Next.js and Payload, so solutions can be operated independently of a single vendor and handed over later. I structure proposals so they can be taken into internal decision paths and committees: with a clear scope, stages and a comprehensible calculation. The PraktiMatch project with Esslingen University is an example of this kind of collaboration. If your institution in Esslingen or the district is planning a project, get in touch for a no-obligation preliminary conversation.

Costs are driven by the scope and complexity of your project, which is why I provide an individual assessment instead of price lists. The biggest factors are the range of functions, the number of user groups and roles, interfaces to existing systems, and requirements for design, data protection and accessibility. The platform matters too: a web app based on Next.js is usually more economical than additional native apps, and with Flutter iOS and Android can be served from one codebase, which saves effort. My approach protects your budget: we first define the MVP, the smallest scope with real value, and you receive a written estimate with stages for it. Extensions only follow if you want them. Write me two or three sentences about your project, and within two working days I will tell you how I would approach it.

Yes, the distance is barely noticeable in everyday work, because most of the collaboration is digital anyway. I plan in-person meetings deliberately where they add the most value: at the kickoff, in requirements workshops and for important reviews. In between you get regular updates via video call and access to a test environment where every interim version runs directly in the browser. Questions are resolved quickly by email or phone, and I reply to enquiries within two working days. The collaboration with Esslingen University followed this pattern too: on site when it mattered, remote in between, with clearly documented decisions. From Tübingen I can be in Esslingen in less than an hour, so short-notice meetings on site are not an obstacle but part of the offer.

For clearly scoped projects a first usable version, the MVP, is often ready after a few weeks. What makes this possible is a deliberately lean start: we focus on the function that delivers the greatest value and leave everything else aside for now. Modern tools like Next.js for web applications, Payload as a content backend and Flutter for mobile apps speed up delivery further, because much proven groundwork already exists. How long the whole project takes depends on scope: an internal tool is finished faster than a platform with several user groups and interfaces. What matters to me is that you are never left in the dark for long: you continuously see interim versions and can adjust course at any time. In the first conversation, happily at your place in Esslingen, you get a realistic timeline with concrete milestones.
