Hi, I'm Jan-Philip 👋
Technical Product Advisor · Hamburg, Germany
About
I help engineering teams ship products that scale — from frontend to infrastructure.
15+ years building software, including 11 years as startup co-founder (Papego, German Design Award 2018). I've scaled systems to 100M+ requests/day and deployed to 700+ retail locations.
Now I work as an independent consultant, combining hands-on product engineering with knowledge transfer so your team owns it after I leave.
Available for 2026 engagements.
