Bespoke web projects and Shopware extensions.
I'm Max Stegmeyer — Engineering Lead at Shopware and freelance developer for custom web applications. No page builders, no WordPress. Just well-built software that does exactly what your business needs.
A developer with Shopware DNA and a bias for building things right.
By day I lead an engineering team at Shopware and have been contributing to one of Europe's most relevant commerce platforms for years. That shapes the way I think about software — scalable, maintainable, properly tested.
In the evenings and on days off I bring the same standard to freelance clients who need more than a template: custom web apps, Shopware plugins, clean APIs and integrations. Code you still want to touch three years from now.
What sets me apart
- Platform experience at core level — I know how Shopware really works.
- Focus on quality: types, tests, reviews, observability.
- Direct communication — you talk to the person who's building it.
