Top SchoolChristoph Höger is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 15 years of experience blending programming language design, academic research, and hands-on software engineering. He holds a PhD in computer science from TU Berlin and has moved between academia and industry, tackling legacy systems, developer tooling, and reliable automation across roles at CeleraOne, Piano, and now trawa. Known for hunting "weird bugs," he brings a stubborn curiosity that helps him understand and refactor the most complex codebases. Christoph excels at maintenance-first engineering—prioritizing correctness, reproducible builds, and developer productivity over quick fixes. A long-time Linux and free-software enthusiast, he pairs deep systems knowledge with practical delivery in production environments. Beyond shipping features, he often focuses on tooling and processes that prevent future entropy in large, long-lived systems.
