From idea to production-ready product —
as individual as you are.
I’m Christian Dechant, a freelance senior full-stack developer and AI consultant (M.Sc. Applied Computer Science). I guide you personally from the first idea to software running in production – and beyond. Alongside my permanent senior role at Strauss GmbH & Co. KG, I deliberately take on only a few projects at a time: you work directly with me, not with an agency.
export const engineer = { name: "Christian Dechant", role: "Freelance Senior Full-Stack & AI Engineer", credentials: [ "M.Sc. Applied Computer Science", "Zero-Trust Kubernetes Research", "Strauss Core Microservices" ], stack: { frontend: ["Next.js", "Nuxt", "Angular", "Vue"], backend: ["C# .NET", "Laravel", "Symfony", "Java"], infra: ["Docker", "K8s", "PostgreSQL", "AWS"], aiPillars: ["MCP Protocol", "Claude Code", "Agent TDD"] }, mantra: "Deliver fast, but deliver complete.", availability: true };
Five reasons that make the difference
No agency, no website builder, no hand-off to junior developers: you get senior engineering tailored to your project – from the first sketch to stable operation.
Individual, not off the shelf
Every solution is built around your goals, processes and users – not a template. The technology follows your project, not the other way round.
- Concept tailored to your requirements
- Technology chosen by purpose, not habit
- Individually calculated quote
Exclusive & personal
I deliberately work on only a few projects at a time. You always talk directly to the senior developer who writes your code.
- One fixed contact, no subcontractors
- Few parallel projects, full attention
- You own the source code
Compliance from day one
Data protection, accessibility and the responsible use of AI are planned in from the start – not bolted on afterwards.
- GDPR-compliant with a data processing agreement (DPA)
- Hosting in the EU
- Accessibility according to WCAG 2.1 AA
Support that stays
Responsibility doesn’t end at go-live. Support packages keep your software running, secure and evolving over the long term.
- Monitoring, security & dependency updates
- Regular functional testing
- Defined response times, guaranteed in the Premium package
From idea to production
Scoping, prototype, MVP, go-live and operation from a single source. Fast to market – and complete, secure and maintainable from the very first release.
- One contact for the entire journey
- Early releases with real user feedback
- Auth, error handling & tests from version 1
„Deliver fast, but deliver complete.“
Craft & Core Competencies
No empty consultant talk, but proven engineering discipline. Sustainable code, zero-overhead architectures and production-ready integrations.
Modern Web Frontends
Fast, accessible and SEO-optimized user interfaces with Next.js, Nuxt, Angular and Vue.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Maximum Core Web Vitals.
Backend & Cloud Microservices
Robust APIs with C# .NET, PHP (Laravel, Symfony) and Java, Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Kubernetes zero-trust workload isolation backed by in-depth master’s research.
Agentic AI & MCP Workflows
Modern AI tools not as a gimmick, but as structured development partners: Claude Code, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and deterministic pipelines.
Clean Code & Quality
Maintainable software instead of technical debt. Automated test coverage (unit, integration, E2E), a clear layered architecture and documented interfaces.

WayVenture —
The smart companion for explorers
As a passionate traveler and software architect, I’m building WayVenture, the all-in-one operating system for adventurers, campers and road trips. No more juggling five different apps: digital travel pass, trip budget and AI trip timeline in one place.
„Deliver fast, but deliver complete.“
Speed is worthless if the MVP breaks at the first real customer contact. We combine a fast time-to-market with reliable attention to detail.
