Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthias Herrmann is a Senior Software Engineer and functional-programming coach with 11 years of industry experience, specializing in statically typed pure functional programming across frontend and backend systems. At YMC AG he helped shift a Java/OOP team to a Typelevel Scala-centric stack, driving more than 75% of their services toward referentially transparent designs and production-quality FP patterns reminiscent of Haskell. He blends hands-on distributed architecture, API engineering for media workflows, and operational responsibility for a dozen interconnected services using technologies like Scala, cats-effect, http4s, Kafka, Cassandra and more. Matthias holds a master’s in computer science with distinction, is a lifelong learner of CS and mathematics, and brings rare depth in both theory and pragmatic system-building. Colleagues know him as a pragmatic paradigm shifter who coaches teams to adopt robust typeful abstractions while keeping delivery velocity high.
