Built by people who ship.


Squibble/email is built and operated by Squibble GmbH — a boutique software studio in Kemptthal, near Zürich.

Founder

Patrick Lehmann

Founder & CEO · Squibble GmbH

Patrick is an independent solutions architect and developer with 15+ years of experience designing complex software systems — from real-time analytics and data pipelines to enterprise frontend architectures and LLM integrations.

He has led technical initiatives for major Swiss organisations including Migros, Scout24, and Schindler. In parallel he builds obseed — a health and sports data analysis platform featured on Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz — and squibble/email, the email infrastructure that powers it.

squibble/email exists because every prior project hit the same wall: putting SMTP credentials into autonomous code, then watching the blast radius when something leaked. The product is the architecture that should have existed already.
