My name is Stephan Mantel. I started my career as an Android Developer at Pinch in 2016. Through the years I experienced multiple cross-platform solutions like React Native, Unity, Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter. Of those, Flutter is the one that ultimately stuck and grew out as a fully fledged team within Pinch. In May 2023 I became the team lead of the Flutter team.

I take pride in creating high quality software, both in user experience and in creating maintainable, reusable code with well thought out software architectures. With the coming of FlutterFlow I have found it a useful tool and a good addition to our toolbox. I like to experience the latest technology and to be an early adopter of tools like this.
