Building calm software with sharp edges.

Hi, I'm Dominik — an iOS and Flutter developer from Germany. I build apps that focus on clarity, calm, and thoughtful design. My goal is to create software that feels intuitive, focused, and genuinely pleasant to use. I care about clean interfaces, subtle details, and experiences that don't overwhelm. For me, good software is more than something that works — it should feel intentional.

Outside of development, I’m into movies, music, space, gaming, travel, aviation, and sim racing. A lot of those interests find their way back into how I think about design, technology, and the experiences I want to create.

庭 (Niwa)

the garden this is named for

Niwa (庭) is the Japanese word for garden. Japanese gardens embody balance, simplicity, and intentionality. Every stone, every plant has purpose — nothing is accidental, nothing is excess. That restraint creates calm.

I find that same peace in well-crafted software. Apps that do what they need to, nothing more. That's what I'm trying to build here — digital spaces that feel as soothing as a quiet garden.
