Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Dittmer is a seasoned engineering leader and entrepreneur with 26 years of experience blending large-scale software reliability at Google with hands-on electrical and solar installation through his grid-licensed company Trixing GmbH. At Google he progressed from Search SRE to Senior Staff Software Engineer leading Identity Platform and Storage, specializing in designing, launching, and operating distributed systems and SRE engagement metrics. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in mechanical engineering and a diplomacy in electrical engineering—with practical hardware skills in RF, embedded systems, and field solar/electrical work. Known for turning complex, high-SLO services into reliable production outcomes, he also brings a maker’s curiosity to real-power projects in the Greater Munich area. An unusual duality in his profile is the ability to switch between global cloud-scale infrastructure strategy and soldering, flight-control or rooftop installs, which informs pragmatic, cross-domain solutions.
