Product Engineer Barcelona Available for freelance work

Product Engineer turning ambiguous product problems into scoped, reliable software.

Portrait of Lukas Werner

I am Lukas Werner, a product-minded software engineer with a strong frontend foundation in TypeScript, React Native/Expo, React, Vue, and Nuxt, and growing range across product discovery, APIs, analytics, testing, delivery, and backend work.

I work best where the problem is still a little messy: scoping MVPs, turning customer feedback into product decisions, shipping end-to-end features, and keeping the result measurable and dependable after launch. I am especially interested in end-to-end and backend ownership.

Selected Work

A quick route into proof, not just promises

The strongest evidence is in work where product decisions, implementation, and outcomes had to stay tied together.

How I work

Frontend depth is the entry point, but the value is broader product engineering.

Turn ambiguity into scope

Reduce broad product ideas into testable flows, sharper priorities, and software a team can realistically ship.

Ship across the product stack

Lead implementation where I am strongest in TypeScript, React Native/Expo, React, Vue, and Nuxt, while stepping into APIs, Firebase, and specific backend work when delivery needs it.

Measure and harden the product

Use PostHog, Sentry, testing strategy, CI, and pragmatic engineering standards to learn from real usage and keep the product dependable.

Background

The thread across startup, consulting, and research

Different contexts, same recurring role: clarify the problem, make the product more usable, and deliver software that can hold up in practice.

Founder lens

Wolf-Waagen

I owned customer-facing product development from MVP to a connected analytics platform with 1200+ MAU, working from customer feedback into scoped product changes.

Product-team delivery

Bridgestone Mobility Solutions

I shipped within a large React product, helped deliver a lean order-tracking MVP, and contributed to a specific Spring Boot/Kafka Streams service as part of cross-stack delivery.

Consulting and architecture

H&D

I helped win a major Nuxt-based platform rewrite, shaped engineering priorities, introduced a pragmatic testing strategy, and supported a Vue plus Rust/Axum security-related flow.

Research roots

Computer science background

My academic work in C++, Python, Java, and HPC still shows up in how I reason about systems, tradeoffs, and technical rigor.

Writing

Recent notes

A selection of recent writing on engineering workflows, Expo and frontend work, testing, and product-minded implementation.

Contact

If you need a product engineer who can scope, ship, and tighten the product, I would be glad to talk.

Especially for mobile and web products that need strong frontend execution, clearer product decisions, and more end-to-end delivery momentum.
