I’m Frederik. I am a software engineer and consultant from Hamburg, Germany with 12+ years of experience. Since 2014, I’ve worked in logistics, fintech, and e-commerce, specializing in full-stack web applications, with a focus on leadership, coaching, and AI-assisted software engineering. Outside work, I build side projects to stay up-to-date with new technologies and explore my passion for photography and video/audio production. To recharge, I enjoy spending time in nature, watching series, and going to the gym.
