The Person Behind This
I'm a solo developer based in Munich with over 8 years of experience building complex applications. I've run my own agency, worked with startups and enterprises, and traveled extensively across Europe and around the world.
This project is a labor of love. While I do it for the cause, it takes significant time and effort to maintain and improve. I'm looking for sponsors to help make this sustainable long-term, so I can dedicate more time to expanding the database, improving the tools, and building new features.
Why I Built This
I'm a federalist and a big fan of the European Union as a project. Not in an idealistic way, but pragmatically. I love Europe for the cultural diversity densely packed into neighboring countries. You can travel for a few hours and experience completely different food, music, architecture, and traditions.
I'm deeply grateful that someone from any EU country can call Germany their home, and that people from all over the EU are welcome in other member states. Much love also to our partners like Switzerland, Norway, and others in the broader European family.
I believe in data, systemic solutions, and the power of technology to improve lives. I love coding and building things that make a difference. Star Stack is my contribution to strengthening European digital sovereignty.
The Vision
I hope the geopolitical situation around the world will return to a safer, more stable state. I hope international organizations and international law will be strengthened, and that all our allies, including friends in the US, will be able to be part of a rules-based international order again in the future.
But for the moment, EU sovereign systems are much needed to safeguard our values and societies. Interconnectedness is a great common good, but it should be approached pragmatically and with safeguards. We need to be able to stand on our own feet while remaining open to cooperation.
I would like to see European integration and sovereignty deepened pragmatically, so we can weather the world to come together and defend our common values. This project is a small contribution toward that goal.
