I'm Jennifer Pelz, a freelance full-stack senior software developer, solutions architect, and technical product lead.
I mostly work in frontend-heavy projects, but my role usually goes far beyond implementation. I work across requirements engineering, workflow design, UX, architecture, and delivery. I like taking complex domains, finding the structure, and turning that into software people can actually use.
What I bring to projects: I keep the big picture in mind, but I can also go deep technically and build the software myself. I work closely with stakeholders, shape solutions, and move quickly from idea to a first usable version.
I use AI tools every day as part of my development workflow. They help me think through problems faster, prototype quicker, improve implementation, and get to better results with less friction. For me, AI is part of modern software development, not a gimmick on top.
I'm a Certified Professional for Software Architecture (Advanced Level), certified by the International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®).

TypeScript, (P)React, frontend architecture, software architecture, workflow-driven system design, clean code, cloud-based systems, rapid delivery, and practical AI usage in software development.
I'm especially interested in Micro Frontends, Domain-Driven Design, Self-Contained Systems, architectural patterns, and the connection between software design, product thinking, and organizational structure.
I also build small games and learning tools in my spare time, often with AI support as part of the workflow. A few examples:
- Capitle — a geography quiz game inspired by Wordle- and Globle-style mechanics. Link
- Georgian verb conjugation — a quiz web app that helps you learn tenses of Georgian verbs. Link
- Dino jump and run — a small game for children where a brachiosaurus runs, jumps over T-Rexes, and ducks through tunnels. Link
- Puma labyrinth — a small game for children where a puma has to find its way through a maze and collect food on the way. Link
I write about software architecture, software development in complex systems, and the connection between technical systems and organizational design.
