Frenkel Systems

calibrating star chart

Full-Stack engineer · Applied AI · Kiel, DE

Two cities are live already, more are on the way.

06 · About

It all started pretty unspectacularly. I moved to Kiel to study business informatics, and somewhere between the economics lectures and my first real lines of code I realized what I actually want to do. Programming turned into a passion. Today I build complete products under the name Frenkel Systems, entirely on my own, from the first idea to shipping.

What drives me is never the single building block. I don't think in frontend, backend and AI, I build the whole thing, because that's the only way software really gets finished. The moment I do this for is always the same: when a product stops being a demo and starts doing real work. The tradesperson who reorganizes their day around traffic. The stranger who suddenly turns into a tour guide in your ear. The promoter who levels up with every ticket sold.

I build mostly for real businesses here in the north. Not slideware, but things that actually go into operation. Working alone is a deliberate choice: one person who holds the entire system in their head moves faster and cuts deeper than a room full of handoffs. Right now most of that energy goes into FieldPilot and jawnt, with the next cities and products already in the works.

If you're building something that has to work in the real world, tell me about it. I'll tell you honestly how I'd approach it.

07 · Work with me

01

One owner

Design, backend, frontend, AI and deploy all sit in one pair of hands. Nothing falls between two teams, because there are no two teams.

02

AI that ships

Models wired into products people actually use, not demos. Four proofs are running live, you just saw them.

03

Solo speed

One head, no handoff overhead. Idea to production, fast, and at the quality of someone who has done it several times before.
