Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohannes Kirschbauer is a technical consultant with nine years of experience specializing in infrastructure, developer experience, and reproducible systems built on NixOS.

Previously he shaped product strategy and engineering practices in secunet’s CTO office and delivered edge-computing and centralized management solutions as a software engineer. His open-source contributions include significant build-system refactors for dream2nix, improving Node.js and Electron packaging workflows in the nix community.
