Portrait of Sebastian

Welcome!

I am Sebastian, a freelance Software-Engineer, Project-Lead and Developer. I specialize in (IoT-)Cloud-Software and everything that runs on the internet in general.

At home in many places

For me, fullstack does not end at the backend. I have shipped projects from C/C++ firmware for microcontrollers (like the esp32) over Rust applications for edge processing task that run on a single-board computers and typescript backends all the way up to SPA Browser applications. This broad experience allows me to pick the best tool for any given job and allows me to excel especially in those place where many technologies meet.

Engineer (/ˌɛn(d)ʒɪˈnɪə/)

As an engineer, my role does not only include technical implementations. In the past I have usually been responsible for the success of all parts of a project lifecyle: from the first idea, requirements engineering, implementation all the way to the first production deployment - often times as the only team member and in direct contact with stake holders.

Leadership

In the past I have not only taken responsibility for my work, but also for teams of up to four software developers of varying experience levels. In this role I see myself as a mentor and shield for my team members, making sure that the requirements are clear and that the team can work without interruptions.
