Skill set
Simon in a few words
I am a freelance Software Engineer focused on backend development of scalable and distributed systems. I’m an expert for Kotlin and Java, containerization and product development.

I currently focus on Kubernetes, Serverless and I am excited about cloud-native software in general.
I've been working in Software for 10+ years and gathered experiences in different industries including travel, legal tech, online advertising, health and process automation. I'm also appearing in mentoring roles on various platforms and enjoy spreading my knowledge through different channels. I'm, among other things, an occasional international speaker, blogger, and contributor on StackOverflow. 👨🏼‍💻
