Crafting Scalable Tech, Leading with Vision, and Writing Code Since 15
Hi, I’m Marcel, and I’ve been immersed in technology for most of my life. What began as a hobby at 15—writing code late into the night—grew into a professional journey spanning software development, IT operations, and strategic leadership. Today, I combine over a decade of full-stack development experience with deep infrastructure knowledge and real-world business leadership.
From Code to Company: A Journey Through IT
I've had the privilege of leading an internationally operating business where I managed not just the technology stack, but also people, processes, and growth. As Head of IT, I was responsible for building and scaling complex systems, ensuring operational continuity across borders, and translating business goals into solid, secure technical architectures.
Whether it's designing microservices, securing cloud infrastructure, optimizing DevOps pipelines, or creating clean user interfaces— I've been hands-on and accountable every step of the way.
Full-Stack Expertise with an Ops Backbone
My core strengths span both development and administration. On the full-stack development side, I work fluently with:
- Frontend: React, Vue.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Next.js
- Backend: Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, RESTful APIs, GraphQL
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB
- DevOps & Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), Nginx, HAProxy
- Cloud & SysAdmin: Linux (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu), automation, monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana)
I care about building systems that are not just functional, but elegant, secure, and built to last.
Real Business Impact
My experience includes leading IT within a fast-paced international business, where I:
- Aligned IT infrastructure with business objectives
- Built tools supporting logistics, customer service, and operations
- Led cross-functional teams across multiple countries
- Handled high-stakes incidents and ensured high system uptime
- Translated complex tech into clear insights for decision-makers
Always Learning, Always Building
Technology is always evolving—and so am I. Whether I’m experimenting with edge computing, learning about WebAssembly, or fine-tuning a custom Linux environment, I'm constantly pushing the boundaries of what I can build and optimize.
wieck.dev is my corner of the web: a place to share ideas, showcase projects, and connect with others who care about doing things the right way—technically, thoughtfully, and with purpose.
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
If you’re looking for someone who understands systems end-to-end—frontend to backend, database to deployment, vision to execution—I’d love to hear from you.
