Summary
🤩
RockstarJens Klein is a seasoned software engineer based in Innsbruck with 22 years of experience building web applications, CMS platforms, and developer tooling. A longtime Plone core developer and member of the Plone Foundation, he blends deep Python backend expertise with practical work on projects like cookiecutter and Authomatic, contributing features, refactors and documentation. Jens has a track record of shipping both product-facing features (auto-login after password reset, time zone control panels) and developer ergonomics (local extensions, version switchers), and he pairs consulting and entrepreneurial experience from running his own firms with hands-on coding since 1983. Active in FOSS and community-building, he brings a rare combination of legacy systems knowledge and modern cloud-native interests (Kafka, Kubernetes) to pragmatic, well-documented solutions.
