Marius Korbmacher

Software Architect - literally

Moin, my name is Marius. Did you notice how f***ing fast and clean this website is? I can do that for you, too!

I am a full-stack web-developer from Germany, focusing on building performant websites using the individually best-suited tech-stack. My favorites are Shopify, Laravel and React, though.

For almost a decade now, I've done remote work for agencies, worked as a permanent employee and built digital products by myself or collaborated with talented people. I am happy you are here, take a look around!

What I did

Since mid 2023, I work as a full-time freelance developer for various clients. Most of my projects are done in cooperation with EShop Guide, one of the largest Shopify agencies in Germany. We migrate, relaunch and maintain Shopify stores for clients from many industries like fashion, beauty, food, insurence, energy and more.

As the only developer on this project, I handled the web store of one of Germany's largest cosmetics brands.

Before that, I was working at YAY! Digital GmbH, a digital agency in Germany. I was responsible for the web infrastructure of one of Germanys biggest cosmetics companies. I took care of their B2C-webshop including the underlying infrastructure like CMS, PIM and merchandise management systems and its successful exchange of data. Additionally, I was responsible for a B2B-shop and multiple sub brand websites.

Besides, I did various projects of a large German TV broadcaster and some smaller projects from customers of every industry.

In my personal time, I regularly work on smaller web projects and on my own ideas, or collaborate with friends and colleagues. Right now, I am part of a small indie hacker collective called coders.fail. We tinker around testing different business ideas, test various web technologies and try to document our journey.

Values

What I believe in

Respect If you find yourself regularly shouting at others, please do not contact me. I praise mutual respect and clear communication.

Reliability I stand by my word, I am always on time and I demand the same from my clients and partners. Ain't nobody got time for waiting.

Minimalism I love minimalistic design and in particular minimalistic code. Do not repeat yourself. Build only what you really need. Do not repeat yourself.

Curiosity vs. consistency There are a lot of tech-stacks on the market. I love discovering many of them, while sticking to some established ones that are battle-proven.

I am open to work

Freelancing

I am always looking for interesting short- and long-term freelance projects of various sizes that can be done 100% remotely and use some of the technologies I am proficient in.
