My Story

Hi! 👋 My name is Paul Koeck and I am a young full-stack web & app developer from Austria. Here's a brief journey through my coding adventure and the milestones along the way.

The Spark of Interest

When I was just 12 years old, my brother Simon Koeck introduced me to the world of coding at the Code Base Camp. There, I wrote my first line of code, delving into HTML & CSS. Although I took a brief hiatus from coding to immerse myself in video games, one game, Welcome to the Game II, reignited my passion. Inspired by its hacking theme, I decided to create a similar game. My dedication led me to complete the project during a Ludum Dare Game Jam, despite the steep learning curve with C# and Unity.

From Games to Apps

My journey didn't stop at game development. The next venture was Frags, a mobile app designed to extend keyboard functionality through custom macro keys. Transitioning from Unity to Dart and Flutter, I dedicated countless hours to this project. The app's popularity soared unexpectedly, thanks to a feature by Cinecom on YouTube, leading to over 15,000 downloads.

Diving into Freelancing

Encouraged by my initial projects, I ventured into freelancing on Fiverr in 2021. My first client was TraderEdge, marking my deep dive into web development. Although we planned to launch FoxFunding, the success of TraderEdge shifted our focus, and FoxFunding was archived here. Around this time, I also embarked on creating a desktop app for Live! Casino Hotel Maryland, which turned into a series of seven successful desktop app projects for the casino.

Expanding My Horizon

Between 2021 and 2022, I undertook numerous freelance projects, maintaining an average of 4.9 stars over 16 reviews on Fiverr. My last freelance project was Spaceping, a testament to my growing expertise and creativity in app development.

Personal Projects

My journey didn't stop with freelance work. I've since launched significant personal projects like Remark, KeyTap, and Refery, alongside smaller side projects which you can find in the projects folder.
