Summary
Lukas Knuth is a Senior Full Stack Developer with 15 years of software experience and a decade-plus of professional engineering practice, now building at DeepL after serving as Principal Engineer at 7Mind. He excels at simplifying complex systems through Domain-Driven Design, guiding cross-functional teams to replace legacy platforms and launch modern apps while remaining an individual contributor who accelerates colleagues. Comfortable across backend, frontend, deployment and developer tooling, he’s owned real-time IoT servers, Kubernetes clusters, and CI/CD improvements that reduced friction for teams. Lukas combines disciplined delivery (Shape-Up experience) with direct engagement with domain experts and non-technical stakeholders to ensure the right things are built the first time. Based in Cologne, he brings a practitioner’s curiosity—still digging into technical details after 15 years—and a knack for turning messy legacy domains into clean, maintainable systems.
