Philipp Zedler is a co-founder and seasoned web developer with 12 years of entrepreneurial experience building and maintaining web projects across PHP, Python/Django, JavaScript frameworks and CMS platforms. He combines a physicist’s rigor—holding a Dr. rer. nat. in theoretical physics—with hands-on expertise in frontend craftsmanship, backend systems, databases and devtooling (git, pip, composer, npm/yarn) to deliver efficient, well-structured solutions. Philipp has led small developer teams and balanced large Scrum-driven projects with daily support work, and contributed to notable open-source efforts such as django-cms by improving tests, migrations and code hygiene. Passionate about projects that align with “digitalization and sustainability,” he works from South Tyrol, speaks the language of both research-grade planning and pragmatic shipping, and surprisingly channels his creativity into music alongside coding.
