Senior🎓
Top SchoolJannis Hermanns is a seasoned software engineer with 16 years of experience, currently focused on cloud services security at Apple while also running his own venture, Big Mike Alright UG, from Barcelona. He has held senior engineering and leadership roles across mobility and media companies, including Head of Engineering at Coup and a decade leading backend teams at Moviepilot. Deeply practical and hands-on, his contributions to open-source—such as improving the neography Ruby wrapper for Neo4j—reflect strong expertise in backend systems, graph data handling, and resilient API design. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Universität Augsburg and brings a mix of startup agility and enterprise-grade security practice to platform engineering. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex recommender and distributed-system concepts (rooted in his master’s thesis work) into production-ready architectures. Humorous detail: outside of work he’s a self-described turtle enthusiast, hinting at a grounded, curious personality.
