Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthias Koch is an experienced software engineer and technical evangelist with 11+ years focused on build automation, CI/CD and developer tooling, currently running NUKE and advocating for developers at JetBrains. He combines a strong academic foundation (MSc in Computer Software Engineering) with hands-on contributions to prominent open-source projects like aspnetboilerplate, nuke-build and Avalonia, where he improved build systems and CI pipelines. Matthias excels at bridging developer experience and operational reliability—rewriting build scripts, standardizing pipelines, and packaging artifacts across PowerShell, Bash, Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. His work often targets the invisible but critical layers that keep projects ship-ready, from evaluation fixes in build targets to cross-platform directory handling. Based in Leipzig, he brings both consultancy-level ownership of tooling and a pragmatic engineering mindset to long-lived .NET ecosystems.
