Berlin Metropolitan Area Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Panzlaff is a Solution Architect based in the Berlin area with over 20 years of hands-on software engineering and architecture experience, currently shaping solutions at Siemens Industry Software. He blends deep systems-level expertise—demonstrated by low-level reverse-engineering work on the popular pokeemerald decompilation—with enterprise-scale solution design honed at Hewlett-Packard and Software AG. Comfortable moving between embedded C-level problem solving (fixing memory alignment and compiler-optimization issues) and higher-level architectural responsibilities, he is pragmatic about readability, maintainability and performance. Michael’s background in Informatik-Betriebswirt (VWA) gives him a practical fusion of technical and business thinking, and his long tenure across automotive, enterprise and industrial software shows a consistent ability to translate complex requirements into robust implementations. He’s also an avid hacker and musician, bringing a creativity to engineering that surfaces in both open-source contributions and commercial projects.
