Co-Founder of ContextSDK, the best way to know when and how to monetize your user.

Follow what I'm up to on Twitter and Instagram, as well as howisFelix.today

I'm the founder of fastlane, an open source tool for iOS and Android developers to make building and releasing apps easier. Just last year, fastlane has saved over 33,000,000 developer hours and is used by hundreds of thousands of companies around the world. fastlane got acquired by Twitter, and later Google.

My work got featured on almost all major news platforms, like The New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Unilad, Forbes 30u30 (German), as well as being on the Forbes Cover (DACH region) with more than 25M impressions.

Privacy research

I'm an active security & privacy researcher, focused on the iOS platform that have caused major changes in iOS, like the camera indicator and better photos permission. Most recently my privacy work on InAppBrowser.com resulted in worldwide news coverage, all the way to hearings in US Congress and multiple litigation lawsuits.
