Senior Engineering & Pragmatic AI —
built for real impact.
Hi, I’m Christian Dechant, M.Sc. Applied Computer Science. As a Senior Full-Stack Developer at Strauss GmbH & Co. KG and founder of WayVenture, I combine 9+ years of industrial software architecture (C#, Next.js, Cloud) with deterministic, agent-driven AI development.

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.
„Publish early, but publish 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.

For me, responsibility doesn’t end at the screen. Since 2018 I have been an active squad leader in the volunteer fire department (Fulda-Mitte 2018–2024, Hofbieber-Mitte since 2024).
„On a call, just like during a critical production outage: clear priorities, complete trust in the team and decisive action without panic lead to success.“
