I design and build consumer apps that feel good in the first five seconds. Right now that is Scenaryo, a fanfiction layer for movies.

"One of the scrappiest builders I know"

About

German efficiency meets Ghanaian resilience. Years in marketing and customer support taught me why people buy. Teaching myself design and code let me build what they buy.

Off screen I am an e-bike explorer, a Kindle highlighter, and a Founders podcast devotee.

Recommendations

  • “I wholeheartedly recommend Jerry, whose transition from marketing to mastering web development showcases an adaptability and passion for technology that's as contagious as his 'can-do' mindset…”

    WBS Coding School instructor
  • “Jerry is a cool and strong founder, deep in the rabbit hole, constantly building. Scrappy underdog (not for long). Insanely impressive results for a two-man show with a strong vision I believe in.”

  • “Jerry turns ambitious ideas into products people want to talk about. I thought sceneXtras was so good that I encouraged him to launch and introduced him to investors and Basebone. The Reddit response and the first thousands of waitlist sign-ups reflected the interest I was seeing. He combines strong product instincts with the determination to get his work into people’s hands.”

    GoogleClivi founder · about €0.9M raised
  • “Jerry is one of the scrappiest builders I know, with the kind of Tobi Lutke energy that keeps a big idea moving. He pitched sceneXtras as “AI that Walt Disney would love,” then backed the ambition with 90-minute average visits, 50.4% D30 retention, paying users before launch, and $0 CAC in 2025. He thinks big and keeps his feet on the ground.”

    AkatosAkatos founder · Vercel AI Accelerator ’25
  • “As a key member of the team tasked with the expansion of the business into the DACH region, Jerry has often been challenged with projects you would associate with more senior positions. … Jerry is a true gent and a hard working, professional, self motivated individual who is highly thought of throughout the marketing team.”

    DataikuEmail Council member, DMA UK
  • “He is a bright and switched on guy and one of those people whom one is easily inspired from. He doesn’t settle for mediocre. He has a broad knowledge of both offline and digital marketing and a great passion for everything media.”

    12+ years · fintech · SaaS · AI product design
  • “Jerry's greatest strength is his extraordinary eye for user experience and user interface design. He pays attention to the smallest details that can elevate an app from ‘good’ to ‘great,’ and from ‘great’ to ‘delightful’.”
