Software Engineer at odoo
Summary
🤩
RockstarAlexandre Kühn is a software engineer with nine years of experience focused on backend and full‑stack development within the Odoo ecosystem. He contributes to high-profile open-source projects like odoo/odoo and the OWL web framework, improving web interfaces, livechat integrations, and state management for reactive components. His work blends pragmatic bug fixes—resolving complex issues like duplicate deploy triggers and asset-related infinite loops—with feature enhancements such as getters and positional arguments that improve component reactivity and lifecycle handling. Based in Belgium and working as a developer at Odoo, he demonstrates a strong grasp of both framework internals and practical production reliability. An attention to subtle lifecycle and binding bugs suggests a developer who values long-term maintainability as much as immediate functionality.
