About me
Patrick Schaub
Software Architect & Full-Stack Engineer
I have worked as a freelance software architect and developer since 2016, supporting teams with architecture, product development and modernization – remotely from Freiburg and on-site when useful.

In client projects, I combine full-stack development with architecture and technical leadership. That has taken me to very different applications: digital railway processes, tools for industrial sensors, the Chrono24 marketplace and a connected-car platform at Volkswagen.
Experience in running systems still helps me as a developer. I use AI-assisted tools like any other tool: deliberately and transparently. Decisions, review and responsibility for the result stay with me.
Alongside client work, I build and run my own software. That keeps me close to the work that follows the first release: finding bugs, improving workflows and responding to new requirements.
Outside project work, I enjoy spending time outdoors around Freiburg. The Black Forest is my counterbalance to screen work.
I combine architecture work with hands-on software development and take responsibility for the technical implementation.
How I work
- 01
Team integration
I get to know your application and work with your team's tools and processes. We work through open questions together.
- 02
Direct communication
You work directly with me. I explain technical decisions and flag risks, dependencies and changes in effort early.
- 03
Careful engineering
Readable code, appropriate tests and an architecture your team can keep working with after the engagement.
- 04
Knowledge transfer
Knowledge should stay with the team. Reviews, pair programming and documentation help your team continue independently.
