Florian Fuchs
SENIOR PRODUCT ENGINEER WITH A PASSION FOR AWS, SERVERLESS AND AI

What I have been working on lately
Two mobile apps in active development. More details once they're live.
Indie iOS app I designed and shipped: one focused thing per day, no to-do list bloat. Daily focus prompt, streak counter, morning and evening reminders, and a Lock Screen widget that keeps your one thing visible. Pro tier adds full history, weekly review, streak stats, and shareable monthly summaries.
A full-stack, offline-first Kanban mobile app built in 30 days, with Linear's iOS UI as the design reference. React Native + Expo on the client, AWS (SST, Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito) on the backend, and a complete production observability stack (Sentry, PostHog, X-Ray, CloudWatch).
