Twenty years of shipping, one person deep
I've led engineering teams through certifications, rewrites, acquisitions and the occasional outage at 3am. neatbytes is what came after: the same work, without the layers between the problem and the person solving it.
I’m an independent product engineer and technical advisor based in Munich. Over two decades of working with technology teams, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat itself: brilliant engineers writing code for the wrong problem, managers measuring outputs instead of outcomes, and designers building interfaces that clash with backend constraints.
I started neatbytes to serve as a focused, high-signal partner for founders, CTOs, and technical leaders. I don't operate as a bloated agency, and I don't arrive with dogmatic playbooks. I work closely with your team to bring clarity to technical decisions, build genuine alignment across departments, and ensure that what gets built actually solves the problem for the humans using it.
A deep-dive investigation into a specific challenge, such as preparing for an ISO 27001 audit, auditing a legacy architecture, or resolving a major team collaboration bottleneck. We define the true problem, create the roadmap, and help execute the initial fixes.
Embedded, ongoing guidance for leadership teams who need a senior technical sparring partner to bridge the gap between engineering, product design, and executive decisions.
