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