Felix Rauch is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building web and database applications across PHP (Symfony, TYPO3), JavaScript, and both relational and NoSQL databases. He blends hands‑on backend work—contributing bug fixes and permission/security improvements to the widely used TYPO3 core—with modern deployment practices including Docker, Kubernetes and Git-driven workflows. Comfortable in agile teams, he pairs developer experience tools (Vagrant, Confluence, JIRA) with prior sysadmin and IT support roots managing VMware ESXi environments and Active Directory. At companies from agencies to platforms like Nitrado and CHECK24, he has moved between CMS-driven projects and large-scale production systems, often tackling the intersection of legacy apps and containerized modern stacks. Colocated in the Cologne–Bonn region, he brings pragmatic problem solving and a preference for maintainable, workflow-friendly tooling that reduces friction for development teams.
