I'm Tim, a self-taught full-stack developer from Itzehoe in northern Germany. I run UplyTech, an IT service company that builds websites, web apps, APIs and custom software for clients, and then hosts and maintains what it ships.
At 11 I was setting up Minecraft servers, and at 12 I started learning to code from YouTube tutorials. That led to PlayGS in 2017, a Minecraft network with its own plugins, a shop and a TeamSpeak, which I still run. Before all of this took over my evenings I played football for SSC Phönix Kisdorf. Most of my own projects started as fixes for my own problems, like a music bot for my Discord server or a script that redeploys apps when I push. Most of my time right now goes into Tellersonne, my cooking app for iOS and Android, live at tellersonne.app.
