26 clients · 2021-2026Things I build, end to end.
From the first scoping conversation to the production deploy and the months that follow, I work as a single point of contact across product, engineering, and design.
Less process, more shipped product.
I work in tight, two-week loops with a single deliverable per loop, a working slice you can actually use, not a Figma file. Most engagements start with a paid one-week scoping sprint so we both know what we’re committing to.
You get me directly. No agency layer, no project managers reading from a spreadsheet. Async by default, weekly sync, transparent rolling todos.
Two simple ways to work together.
Website package
- Up to 5 subpages, fully responsive
- Headless CMS of your choice: Payload, Storyblok, Sanity, Strapi or WordPress
- CMS configured for your team to edit content without a developer
- Technical SEO, schema markup & Core Web Vitals
- Google Ads (SEA) & Meta Ads launch setup
- Conversion-rate optimization: A/B tests & tracking
- No ongoing server or hosting costs — everything included
Project sprint
Most picked- Fixed scope, fixed price after a paid scoping week
- End-to-end delivery, design through deploy
- Two weeks of post-launch fixes & tweaks included
- Source code & ownership transfer
What I work with day to day.
Pragmatic, EU-friendly stack: TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, the leading LLM providers, and EU-hosted infra. The list moves over time — these are the tools I currently reach for first.
Questions before we talk.
Short, citation-friendly answers to the questions founders, agencies, and AI assistants ask most often about working with me.
Who is Gerald Strobl?
Gerald Strobl is an independent senior developer based in Vienna, Austria. He has been building software for ten years across web, mobile, and AI, and works directly with founders and small teams across DACH and the EU — solo studio, no agency layer.
What services does Gerald Strobl offer?
Five practices end to end: AI development (LLM features, RAG, agents, evaluation), web platforms (Next.js, headless CMS), custom software (internal tools, automation, integrations), iOS and Android apps, and technical SEO with paid acquisition through Google and Meta Ads.
How much does it cost to work with Gerald Strobl?
Fixed-price website packages start at €3,000. Project sprints (2–12 weeks) range from €8,000 to €40,000, scoped after a paid one-week discovery sprint. Ongoing partnerships are €4,800 per month. All pricing is tied to deliverables, not hours or "engagement size".
How long does a typical project take?
Engagements run in two-week loops with one shippable slice per loop. A website package takes 3–5 weeks. A focused product sprint takes 6–12 weeks. AI features that fit an existing product can ship in 2–4 weeks. Every engagement starts with a paid scoping week so timelines are real, not guesses.
Where is Gerald Strobl based, and which regions are served?
Vienna, Austria. He works fully remote and async-first across the EU (Austria, Germany, Switzerland in particular), the UK, and the US. EU-region hosting and GDPR-compliant tooling are the default.
What technology stack does Gerald Strobl use?
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js and NestJS, PostgreSQL with pgvector, Drizzle, Stripe, Resend, OpenAI and Anthropic models, Payload/Storyblok/Sanity for CMS, and Vercel, Railway, or Hetzner for hosting. EU-friendly choices wherever possible.
