I like the minimal design of the website. Quick feedback

- Add portfolio

- Add tech stack

One thing that I think is most important and missing here is the portfolio. As it will provide context and proof of your skills and capabilities from past projects. Also if you can get testimonials from people you've worked with in the past that's great too. The tech stack thing is a mixed bag since it can "disqualify" you from gigs you might be able to handle, but most people seeking freelancers will be looking for a specific stack/set of skills and if you can immediately show them that you "fit" it will help.

You've got a ton of followers/traction on github so at a minimum i'd say highlight those things you've had success with?

- Permanent residency in Germany after 3 years (what I have heard, if I learn German or 5 if not)
