Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMicha Hobert is a technical writer and former full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building and documenting e-commerce systems, currently focused on developer experience at Shopware. He combines hands-on back-end contributions to major open-source Shopware repositories—improving cart functionality, Redis persistence, and API robustness—with a knack for clear, developer-centric documentation. Previously he led IT teams and web development at SwissCommerce, where he drove performance-minded refactors and safeguarded sensitive data flows. As a serial founder of small service ventures, he brings practical product-scaling experience, from operations and billing to team leadership. Based in Gießen, Germany, Micha pairs deep Symfony/Vue ecosystem knowledge with a pragmatic approach to turning complex backend changes into usable developer workflows. An unusual strength is his ability to move between code and docs, fixing bugs and then immediately translating fixes into clearer guidance for users and contributors.
