Summary
Andreas Behrend is a Senior Software Developer with 11 years of experience building and leading backend-focused teams, particularly in PHP/Symfony and cloud-native deployments on Kubernetes. He combines a rare hardware-software background—electronics, FPGA, microcontrollers and PCB design—with extensive software practice in CI/CD, VPN/WAN and network management, enabling practical system integration for regulated domains like healthcare. Andreas has led technical teams, architected database and booking/shopping systems with a strong emphasis on data security, and migrated legacy platforms to modern Symfony and Kubernetes environments. Based in Düsseldorf, he pairs hands-on development (C/C++, Python, VHDL) with operational know-how from running internal GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners. A former tutor in FPGA and lab supervision, he brings disciplined engineering and a pragmatic, systems-level perspective that often uncovers hardware constraints early in software design.
