Hi, I’m Philipp Veller, an independent full-stack developer with 10 years of experience shipping production-ready web applications as a sole developer or frontend lead. I’ve delivered products across healthcare, legal-tech, renewable energy, and civic participation, including a SaaS hex map editor with Stripe billing and thousands of automated tests, a crane fleet scheduling tool for wind farm projects, and a CE-marked medical platform. My work blends strong frontend engineering with solid backend services, turning complex domains into performant React/TypeScript/Next.js frontends backed by Python or Node.js services. I’m focused on owning delivery end-to-end in contract engagements, emphasizing architecture, robust testing, and maintainable code. I thrive in teams of 2–4 and excel at turning ambiguous requirements into production-ready solutions with clear documentation and smooth handovers to client teams.
