Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHerwig Hochleitner is a seasoned Austrian software engineer and solo entrepreneur with 16 years’ experience delivering full-stack functional architectures, deployments, and operations. He blends deep functional-programming expertise (notably Clojure) with systems and networking know-how, from JVM platforms to GNU/Linux deployment and mobile low-level work across BlackBerry, Android and legacy Nokia platforms. As a contributor to the high-profile ClojureScript compiler, he has fixed subtle compiler bugs and improved build performance—evidence of his aptitude for language-level and tooling improvements. He offers hands-on systems integration and build-to-production delivery, including custom Android builds and cross-compilation toolchains. Pragmatic and curious, he pairs broad language fluency (Clojure, JavaScript, Shell, C, Java) with an operations-first mindset that favours reliable, auditable systems.
