02 — Principles
How I work: 4 non-negotiable principles
No vendor lock-ins, no AI hype without ROI: My systems are built for long-term autonomy, measurable business outcomes, and radical speed.
01
No Vendor Lock-in (Open-Source-First)
Open standards, n8n, Next.js, Astro, PostgreSQL, and clean REST APIs. You maintain 100% ownership and full autonomy over your code, workflows, and data at all times.
02
Measurable ROI Over Hype
No theoretical AI gimmicks. Every automation and engineering project is measured against tangible metrics: saved work hours, qualified leads, and measurable citations.
03
Radical Performance & Core Web Vitals
Sub-second load times, lightweight code, and flawless Lighthouse scores (100/100). Speed directly drives conversion rates and search engine rankings.
04
GDPR & Data Sovereignty (DACH Hosting)
Strict compliance with European data privacy standards (GDPR, EU AI Act). Optional self-hosted and on-premise LLM setups for sensitive corporate data.
