About - Your vision, my commitment.

Blackie Studio is the company I started in 2026 to build products I genuinely care about — and to help others do the same.

I'm Pasquale, an expat living in Germany. I started Blackie Studio after years of working as a developer for other companies and realizing I wanted to build things on my own terms. The name comes from my cat — he's the real boss around here.

The first thing I shipped was burode.chat, an AI assistant for German bureaucracy. It came from a real problem: I moved to Germany and had no idea how anything worked. Every official letter was a mystery. So I built something to fix that, first for myself, then for everyone else dealing with the same confusion.

I work across the full stack — design, frontend, backend, AI pipelines, infrastructure. When you work with me, you're not handed off between departments. There's one person, one conversation, and full accountability from start to finish.

How I work - Your vision, my commitment.

I treat every project like it's my own — because most of the time, it literally is.

  • Ownership. When there's no one else to delegate to, you learn to care deeply about every detail. I'm responsible for the full stack — from the database schema to the pixels on screen.
  • Honesty. I'd rather tell you something will take longer than promise a deadline I can't hit. No padding, no politics — just a straight answer about where things stand.
  • Focus. I don't juggle ten clients at once. I take on work I believe in and give it the attention it deserves. If I'm building something, it has my full focus.
