Jan-stefan Janetzky is a pragmatic IT consultant and senior engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing resilient infrastructure, modern web stacks, and mission-critical automation for enterprise and large-scale community projects. He has a proven track record of turning undocumented legacy systems into reliable platforms—managing Proxmox/Docker estates, migrating large DMS deployments with two million documents, and delivering zero-downtime infrastructure for a Discord RPG with 650k+ players. Technically versatile, he spans backend and frontend work (TypeScript, Node.js, Bun, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL), low-level C/embedded tooling, and infrastructure patterns including WireGuard, Traefik, Coolify and Kubernetes experiments. An active open-source contributor, he improved stability and UX in the popular Obsidian Dataview plugin, demonstrating attention to edge-case bug fixes and TypeScript hygiene. He’s skeptical of buzzwords (as his GitHub quip about certifications suggests) and leverages AI tooling as a multiplier rather than a crutch, having built RAG-based tooling and documented AI-assisted analyses. Based in Hennef, Germany, he combines deep technical problem solving with a penchant for pragmatic, durable solutions under pressure.
