Software Architect & Full-Stack Developer
Christian-Alexander
Hoffmann
By day I build software as an architect and full-stack developer. By night I turn solopreneur and ship ideas of my own. In between: husband, father of two boys, radio amateur and self-confessed nerd.

About
Born in ’84, from cockpit to code: I started out as an aerospace engineer and military officer – and found my way, through programming, to what drives me today.
As an employed software architect I design and build applications end-to-end. On the side I’m a solopreneur by conviction: try things, iterate, release – and see what sticks.
At home I’m a husband and father of two boys, a nerd and a lovable scatterbrain. I like solving problems that affect me personally – and those often turn into my next projects.

Off the clock
Amateur radio
Licensed radio amateur – radio waves, antennas and CW fascinate me just as much as clean code.
Running & cycling
Endurance sport to clear my head. My best solutions show up on the move.
Motorcycling
Twisty back roads are my element – so much so that they turned into a project of their own: curvymap.
Board games & tabletop
From family game night to the tabletop: games that mix brains and good company.
