About.
Hi, I'm Carlo — a senior software engineer with 10 years of enterprise experience. Now I build MVPs and infrastructure for startups.
10 years of software engineering experience. From corporations like Thyssenkrupp to fast-moving startups. I know both worlds — and I know what startups really need: speed, pragmatism, and an engineer who thinks ahead.

How I work.
Ship fast, iterate later
An MVP doesn't have to be perfect — it has to go live. Perfectionism is the enemy of progress.
Simplicity > Complexity
The best code is the code you don't have to write. I choose the simplest path that solves the problem.
Your money, your data
Self-hosted where it makes sense. Open source over vendor lock-in. Transparent pricing over hidden costs.
- TypeScript everywhere — type safety is not a nice-to-have
- PostgreSQL > MongoDB — for 95% of all startups
- Vercel for speed, Hetzner for control
- Monorepo > Multi-repo — for small teams
- Tests where they count, not 100% coverage as dogma
