Florian

Full-stack developer based in Hamburg. I build commerce infrastructure, currently Shoppex and a Windows VPS platform.

About

I work across the whole stack, from the interfaces people click every day down to the payment pipelines and edge delivery underneath. Most of my time goes into Shoppex, a platform that gives merchants hosted storefronts, a visual theme editor, and checkout that actually handles money correctly. I care more about systems that hold up under real traffic than about looking clever.

Hosted storefronts, a visual builder, multi-gateway checkout, a customer portal, and a public developer API. A few highlights of how it's put together:

paymentsEvent-sourced payment engine
Every attempt is an immutable event. Read projections derive one consistent status for checkout, the portal, and the API. Webhooks are idempotent and deduplicated.
checkoutOne engine, many surfaces
Hosted pages, an embeddable in-page checkout, and a headless session API all run on the same core, so behavior stays identical wherever it's mounted.
storefrontEdge delivery, immutable artifacts
Storefronts are served from the edge. Publishing builds a versioned artifact and flips a pointer, so a deploy is never an overwrite and rollbacks are instant.
controlLLM-native control plane
Beyond the in-dashboard AI editor, storefronts can be inspected, edited, and published programmatically through a structured layer.
