2017
Our second daughter was three months old when we left Berlin. It had been an intense three years - full of learning, growth, and change. Now it was time for the next step: enterprise WiFi. Centralized, multi-site, fully managed - built for companies that needed serious infrastructure. After shutting down operations in Berlin, I locked in with my best engineer. We rebuilt the system from scratch - but this time, with everything we had learned. It was painful. Most vendors never do this. They just stack features onto day-one code until it collapses under technical debt. We didn’t. We restarted clean - focused on building a management system built for service providers. After three years of running our own WiFi service with 3,000 customers, we knew what it took. Moving to Switzerland was also a family decision. Berlin had been exciting - but not for kids. We went all in and lived in a house on a quiet farm. Peace. Focus. Sanity. I kept everything bootstrapped: brand, code, stack, ownership. So the name Airfy came with me. In Switzerland, I built our first fully “Made in Europe” WiFi router. And while building the next chapter, I spent nearly every free minute with my kids. No office. No travel. Just code, family, and a clear goal.
