0→1 product builder · Founder

I build products where the problem is messy.

I connect customer reality, business viability, and technical possibility to turn unclear problems into something we can test. My deepest experience is in enterprise internal tools and operational software.

Open to a co-founder role or focused freelance work with early-stage B2B teams.

How I work

Make the next move concrete.

I connect customer needs, business realities, and technical possibilities—then turn uncertainty into a small, concrete test.

  1. Understand the problem

    Listen to the people closest to it. Bring different perspectives into focus.

  2. Find a starting point

    Connect what people need with what makes business sense and what’s technically possible.

  3. Make it testable

    Turn the idea into something concrete enough to learn from.

TechTally — testing a market, not defending an idea.

When a factory retires a working machine, nobody knows what it is worth. So it sits, or sells for scrap. At Beam Berlin, a company builder, I tested a way to value and resell used industrial equipment in close collaboration with BEUMER Group.

35 interviews. End-of-line packaging machines in DACH. A live landing page (techtally.eu) and six real sales cases, but no pattern to build a product on. I set the stop metrics before the first lead came in.

The pain was real, but we did not find a paying market within the test window. We stopped.

Selected work

Enterprise internal tools — building where the complexity lives.

My enterprise work spans CRM, integrations, intranets, workflows, and AI tools. I work between technical teams and business stakeholders to make the system understandable and the next step concrete.

At Endava, I worked on two 0→1 products: an AI-powered internal tool for pre-sales tender creation and a headless CMS API platform, from first line to MVP.

About

I’m an engineer by training and a product builder by choice. I work best with practical, operational problems where customer needs, business questions, and technical constraints need to fit together.

I’d rather ship a test and ask users than write a long document. I set the stop metrics before testing, and I’m willing to stop when the evidence says no.

Side project: uupsi.com—a teletext-style routines app and toothbrush clock for small kids. I keep shipping improvements based on user feedback.

Summers are for blueberries in Finnish forests. I still wish IRC was a thing.

Tell me the messy part.

I’m looking for early-stage B2B teams to join as a co-founder or work with on focused freelance projects. Especially enterprise and internal tools. Berlin, hybrid, or remote.
