👋 Hi

I'm Lailo

Profile image

I studied Computer Science at the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland.

After my studies late 2012, I joined startup after startup. I mainly focused on building MVPs from scratch and increasing customer base with growth hacking strategies.

Since 2013, I work mostly remotely from all around the world. I learned a lot about working with and leading remote teams.

My current focus is on simplicity in code and design. While some people over engineer, I prefer to start with minimal feature set.
