How I work

Where I can help

Neos CMS development & architecture

I know Neos — not just from documentation, but from years of real projects. Complex nodetype hierarchies, custom rendering pipelines, Fusion templating that editors actually enjoy. When Neos is the right tool, I make it sing.

Flow Framework & backend engineering

Flow gives you the foundation to build serious PHP applications. I use it to build APIs, domain models, and integrations that hold up under real-world complexity — clean, testable, and maintainable years later.

AI tooling & intelligent automation

The craft I’ve built over a decade meets a new layer of intelligence. Through neos-mcp and hands-on AI experimentation, I bring genuine capability to AI-enhanced CMS workflows — not hype, but working integrations that change what’s possible.
