Senior generalist with three sharp edges.

My hourly rates are from-prices per service: from CHF 110.– for the part-time engagement, from CHF 115.– for takeover and maintenance, from CHF 125.– for websites, web apps and frontend, from CHF 130.– for blockchain and from CHF 135.– for AI automation. "From" means: the rate covers work of the usual scope. Anything beyond that we discuss before the start, not on the invoice.For clearly scoped projects I am happy to quote a fixed price. That requires a conversation about scope and goals up front, so the fixed price is fair to both sides.For context: freelancers in Switzerland in 2026 mostly charge CHF 80–150 per hour, small agencies CHF 120–160, senior and niche specialists CHF 140–250+. With thirteen years of experience I deliberately price below the specialist band: you pay for senior work, not for agency overhead.

I invoice as a registered sole proprietorship (UID CHE-216.461.477), without VAT — the rates quoted are the amount on the invoice. On larger projects I work with partial invoices tied to completed milestones rather than a single invoice at the end.

Yes. Not every task needs to be a project — sometimes it is a broken build, an integration that stopped delivering, or an assessment of existing code. Work like that is billed by time spent.

With a no-obligation call of around thirty minutes. In it we establish what should be built, what it has to do, and what already exists.After that you receive a written assessment from me: scope, approach, timeline and cost — including, where warranted, the recommendation that something should be built differently or not at all.

Both. I am based in Basel and easy to reach for meetings in the region. The development work itself is usually remote, which is cheaper for you and more productive for me.

I work in German, Swiss German and English — the first two at native level, English at B2–C1. I speak Spanish at B1–B2 but do not work in it. I write documentation and code comments in English by default, or in German on request.

Yes, between 20 and 60 percent. This suits institutes, research groups, startups and SMEs that need ongoing engineering capacity but do not want to — or cannot — fill a full position.

Yes, that is a service in its own right. If the previous developer is gone, nobody wants to touch the code any more, or the site has slowed to a crawl, I first assess what is there and tell you honestly whether repair is worthwhile or a rebuild will cost less.Taking over always includes making sure you are not left dependent on a single person again: a clean repository, documented deployment, traceable dependencies.

Frontend with Vue 2 and 3, Nuxt 3 and 4, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS — the stack I work in daily and the one I propose for new projects. Backend with Node.js, SQLite, MySQL, Cloudflare Workers and Pages. I read React and Next.js and take them on for maintenance; I do not propose them as a main stack.For AI: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, locally hosted language models, retrieval and full-text search.For blockchain: Solidity, Hardhat, ethers.js and viem on EVM chains such as Ethereum and Base, plus Solana with web3.js.

Yes. AI solutions can be built on locally hosted language models so your data never leaves your infrastructure. That costs some quality compared to the large commercial models, but for personal data, patient data or trade secrets it is often the only sensible option.
