Summary
🤩
RockstarJan Herich is a founder and CTO with 13 years of software engineering experience who blends pragmatic delivery with a dedication to elegant, modular design. A former Java OO developer turned Clojure enthusiast, he favors functional techniques—immutable data and pure functions—to build extensible systems while retaining a get-things-done mindset. He has led teams and startups (ITEdge, SpaceDelta3D) and contributed to notable open-source projects like Pedestal and the Status mobile client, improving template rendering and React Native chat features. At SpaceDelta3D he is applying software and hardware skills to make large-format FDM 3D printing viable for production through open-source slicer tooling. Comfortable switching between backend, mobile and systems-level concerns, he brings entrepreneurial focus and a habit of pushing for the right abstraction rather than the easiest pattern.
