Summary
Christopher Dickinson is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bern with 7 years of professional experience building full-stack enterprise applications using Java, TypeScript, Spring, PostgreSQL and Angular. He currently delivers map-based navigation solutions for Switzerland's national rail operator (SBB), blending back-end integration and spatial data work with user-facing Angular applications. Past roles span full-stack work in React/Node and AWS at Adthena and consulting for large enterprise clients, reflecting strong adaptability across cloud, data and integration patterns. Christopher pairs a formal background in informatics and humanities with hands-on experience from research systems at CERN to commercial products, which surfaces in pragmatic, user-centered engineering decisions. He took a deliberate sabbatical for soft-skills development and travel, an experience that sharpened his collaboration and problem-solving approach. Colleagues would describe him as a steady, curious engineer who moves comfortably between legacy enterprise systems and modern web architectures.
