Top SchoolJulia Krüger is a Berlin-based web developer with 11 years of experience building reliable front-end and back-end web applications. She has a strong React/Redux background from her work as a Frontend Developer and has spent the last several years at The Neighbourhoodie Software GmbH shipping production web features and championing offline-first approaches. Julia contributes to notable open-source projects, including core back-end work on Greenkeeper (automated npm dependency updates) and full-stack/test-suite improvements for the privacy-focused Diaspora social network. Her early career blended QA, test automation and integration testing at companies like HERE and archify, giving her a practical emphasis on testability and observability. Comfortable across the stack, she pairs hands-on coding with thoughtful tooling (CI, logging, test refactors) to reduce operational friction. Notably, her background in biology and media informatics gives her a pragmatic, user-centered perspective on engineering complex systems.
