Top SchoolFelix Lange is a seasoned full stack developer with 17 years of hands-on experience building and hardening backend systems, currently based in Oberlungwitz, Saxony and working at NetTask GmbH. He is a pragmatic engineer with deep contributions to high-profile blockchain projects (go-ethereum, ethash, erigon, aleth, bsc) where he focused on performance, concurrency, P2P networking and security. Felix also contributes to developer tooling and language ecosystems—improving Emacs LSP, Go CLI libraries and packaging Common Lisp for Termux—showing fluency across languages and runtimes. His work often targets subtle, reliability-driving problems (RPC robustness, DAG/cache synchronization, consensus test harnesses) rather than surface features. Known on GitHub as a "Chief Stacktrace Designer," he combines low-level systems thinking with practical DevOps automation to keep distributed systems running.
