Senior full-stack web developer with 20+ years of experience — owning the full website lifecycle from CMS selection and launch through relaunch to operation and maintenance. I run my own TYPO3 multisite (since v4.2) powering several web portals with modern React/Next.js frontends, and operate my own Backend-as-a-Service platform with five production micro-SaaS products. As a founder/CTO I think in business value, not just code — with a strong focus on performance, security and DevOps. German native, English fluent.
Work Experience
Founder & CTO
Founder and CTO of my own Backend-as-a-Service platform, running five production micro-SaaS products (including Bewerbungskit and MyMediaPlanner). End-to-end responsibility for architecture, React/Next.js frontends, infrastructure automation and stable 24/7 operation — with secure, reliable deployments built for 10+ projects.
Software Consultant
Modernised an existing codebase: introduced automated backend unit tests and extended a Symfony client for the Interred editorial system.
Software Developer / CTO
Maintained and extended an existing (legacy) software landscape, kept it running reliably, and continuously optimised and scaled the systems. Frontend work in an Angular environment.
Senior PHP Developer
Backend developer on a verified-reviews platform: extended the API, built new features and documented the existing codebase.
Senior Symfony Developer / System Architect
At the EU’s largest print-on-demand provider: extended the web shop and checkout, then architected and integrated an AI image-enhancement pipeline (“Perfectly Clear AI”) over AWS (S3/SQS), scaled to 1M+ product images.
Full-Stack Developer / Architect
Designed the MVP and infrastructure for a lead-generation platform (React, PHP/Symfony, headless REST API, GitLab CI/CD).
Backend Developer
Backend development and security updates on live production systems — PHP/Symfony and Drupal, without downtime.
Own Web Portals
Founder/CTO of several TYPO3-based portals on a shared multisite: felix-dziekan.de (developer & TYPO3 blog), diversplace.net (the largest German-language diving lexicon, 600+ terms, successor to felixtravelblog.de), mynomadplace.com (travel) and mymediaplanner.com (headless TYPO3 + Next.js). Responsible for sitepackages, TypoScript, headless APIs and ongoing operation.
