I build companies —
and the technology
behind them.
Founder & CEO of CORS GmbH and CoreShop GmbH. Engineer at heart, entrepreneur by conviction — and right now, there is a lot more in the making.
Three companies. One conviction: technology should work for people.
CORS GmbH
We develop the most modern and advanced Pimcore projects — guiding companies through digital transformation. Not selling hours: building partnerships and change.
CoreShop GmbH
The company behind CoreShop — the open-code e-commerce platform for Pimcore. Started with a simple vision: make e-commerce with Pimcore great and fun.
mamado GmbH
The platform for lifestyle and video training — bringing movement, coaching and community online. I co-founded it and lead the technology and architecture behind it.
In the making
— new products and ventures taking shapeAn open-source, Chromium-based browser for macOS in the spirit of Arc — sidebar with favorites and pinned folders, Spaces with their own profiles, a command bar, split view and real Chrome extensions. A companion for iPhone and iPad is on its way.
AI-powered calorie & workout tracking for iOS — with an AI coach that actually knows your training. App, watch companion and backend, built from the ground up.
A full Kubernetes client for iOS — every resource type, live logs, Helm, GitOps, metrics and multi-cluster health, right from your phone.
The squirrel that remembers. Share posts, videos, articles or screenshots from any app — AI summarizes them, files them into the right list, turns plans into todos with reminders and brings old ideas back every morning.
A mobile companion for Pimcore. It reads your class definitions through the Studio API and builds the views for any data object by itself — browse, search and edit on the go, even offline.
A cockpit for AI agents — on your desk and in your pocket. More soon.
A different kind of agency — specialist AI agents, running projects end-to-end. More soon.
I never stopped writing code.
Being a CEO does not mean leaving the keyboard behind. Open source is where I come from — I have been contributing to the Pimcore ecosystem since 2012, and CoreShop remains one of my most important projects there. These days you will also find me deep in Kubernetes clusters and building apps on the side.

The open-code e-commerce platform for Pimcore. Born as a passion project, grown into a product businesses run on — my flagship contribution to the ecosystem.

github.com/pimcore/pimcore →Captain ⎈
A Kubernetes client for iOS — multi-cluster, every resource type via the discovery API (CRDs included), live logs, Helm releases, GitOps views and native cloud auth for EKS, GKE and AKS.

in the makingAn AI-powered calorie and training tracking app, iOS-first — with an AI coach at its core. One of the new things currently taking shape.
amber-fitness.app →Kubernetes is a passion. From running our Pimcore projects on our own clusters at CORS to building Captain — I love everything about orchestrating infrastructure.
From first commit to founder.
Say hi. 👋
Whether it is about business, Pimcore, open source or a new idea — I am always up for a good conversation.
