About me

Between code and meaning: A developer with clarity and depth.


Hi, I'm Shawn.

I’m a fullstack web developer and digital product thinker – bridging technical precision with intuitive design, analytical thinking with a sense for human context. I build digital experiences that work with integrity – clear, purposeful, and grounded.

My focus lies in simple, sustainable, and human-centered solutions. I care about the honest more than the loud, and the true more than the convenient.

My work is shaped by quiet consistency. I look for patterns, recognize systems, and strive to make things that actually improve something.


My Path

My journey wasn’t linear. It began between music and code, film sets and curiosity. Studies in marketing and informatics laid a foundation, but it was my time in product management (CODE University) that connected the dots – between structure, empathy, and purpose.

Over the years, I’ve moved through different roles – as a developer, product thinker, and collaborator in both digital and cultural spaces. I worked with startups like YPTOKEY and Data4Life, co-founded U/skillity – a platform for shared knowledge – and Kultstätte Keller, a space for art, sound, and community. Along the way, I also supported various film productions – often in assistant roles behind the scenes. These experiences, though practical and grounded, shaped how I understand collaboration, pace, and presence.

Beyond the Screen

When I’m not building things, I explore music (both creating and listening), ferment water kefir, ride long distances by bike, or simply spend time in nature. More recently, I’ve started learning photography – slowly, intuitively.

I’m based in Berlin and open to meaningful remote collaborations worldwide.
