Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Gengenbach is a versatile software engineer based in Heidelberg with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems, developer tools, and web applications across startups, academia, and enterprise. He has led a team of seven at Omnia Retail (formerly Patagona), driving infrastructure automation in AWS with Terraform and migrating services to Kubernetes while improving scalability down to scale-to-zero. His background blends practical product work—shipping UIs, scheduling systems, and real-time dashboards—with research-driven thinking from a PhD-funded project at SAP on decentralized network management using programmable switches. Comfortable across front- and back-end stacks, he has a habit of improving developer experience through internal tooling and automation. Now freelancing, he quickly adapts to new domains and is particularly effective at turning complex operational needs into reliable, well-documented solutions. An early maker of hybrid mobile apps and real-time control dashboards, he brings both creative engineering and systems-level rigor to client projects.
