Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPascal Betz is a pragmatic software engineer and former CTO with 11 years of professional experience building and scaling Ruby on Rails applications from startup prototypes to enterprise-grade systems. He co-founded a software company, led teams as tech lead, and has recent senior roles improving performance and reliability—achieving multi-fold speedups, drastic memory reductions, and large query cuts through code, SQL and infrastructure work. Comfortable across the full stack, Pascal repeatedly ships production systems for complex domains like network topology, provisioning and data validation, and often pairs engineering with coaching and documentation. Based in Basel, he combines hands-on problem solving and architecture patterns with a proven knack for mentoring engineers and improving legacy codebases. An unassuming entrepreneur, he’s as likely to refactor a slow SQL query as to lead a training session for new developers.
