Summary
🤩
RockstarPascal Berger is a Swiss Lead Software Engineer and Microsoft MVP with 11+ years of experience designing build automation, CI/CD and packaging solutions. He is a core maintainer of the Cake build automation project and a prolific contributor to Chocolatey, improving packaging, PowerShell automation and release pipelines that serve wide developer communities. Pascal blends backend and frontend skills—contributing UX and CSS improvements to docfx and API tooling like NSwag—while repeatedly delivering build-time and DevOps reliability fixes. His work on Renovate expanded monorepo support for several .NET ecosystems, showing an eye for large-scale dependency automation. At the intersection of engineering leadership and hands-on coding, he’s led teams and architecture efforts across Swiss firms and now heads engineering initiatives at exanic AG. A not-obvious strength: he repeatedly smooths the developer experience by tackling both documentation and low-level packaging quirks, turning hairy release processes into repeatable automation.
