Hi, I'm Lucas
Freelance software developer since 2015. I build web apps, WordPress products, browser extensions and AI integrations — and make music as Livvux.
About
Since 2015 I've been self-employed as a freelance developer. I design and ship products end to end: StreamerLoft, a WordPress kit that gives Twitch creators a home for their stream, pfotenweb.de, a self-hosted website for animal welfare organizations, and a growing set of open-source tools on GitHub — from WordPress AI plugins to FiveM tooling. Based in Karlsruhe, Germany. Away from the keyboard, I produce emotional EDM as Livvux.

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
An AGPL-3.0 open-source, self-hostable Discord alternative. Independent community instances, realtime chat, roles, moderation and optional voice/video. Currently in closed alpha.
An open-source, privacy-conscious Chrome extension that identifies a website's frameworks, CMS, analytics and other technologies on demand. Free local scans, with optional deeper analysis on the web.
A game server directory for discovering gaming communities across multiple games, with localized search, moderated listings and developer integrations.
A German software directory for finding free, open-source and lower-cost alternatives, featuring curated comparisons and transparent pricing.
Independent community documentation for the QBCore FiveM framework, with setup guides, API references, developer tools and troubleshooting.
An independent resource for GTA V and FiveM mapping, offering CodeWalker tutorials, MLO learning paths and browser-based map tools.
An open-source, self-hosted video and audio downloader powered by yt-dlp and FFmpeg, with MP4/MP3 exports, progress tracking and automatic file expiry.
A WordPress kit for Twitch creators: creator profile, click-to-load player, schedule, clips and community pages. Ships as a free Core edition, a Pro tier with multi-channel collections and a complete Midnight theme kit.
MIT-licensed, self-hosted website for animal welfare organizations. Install it yourself, adapt it to your shelter and run it — no vendor lock-in.
My public GitHub work: WordPress plugins for AI translation engines, an MCP client for WordPress, a Chrome extension for local full-text search and backups, FiveM tooling and more.
