Summary
Richard Garsthagen is a software engineer with 10 years’ experience blending cloud technologies and hands-on maker skills, currently working at Oracle in the Randstad. He develops primarily in .NET, Python, PHP and Swift, and pairs backend engineering with embedded systems work on Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Equally at home in VMware, Citrix and Microsoft cloud stacks, he brings practical expertise in Oracle environments and technical marketing/business development. Outside software he designs and fabricates physical products—CNC, laser, 3D printing and photogrammetry—using OpenScad and ZBrush, which informs his pragmatic approach to prototyping and productization. He enjoys moving ideas from code to tangible artifacts, a trait that often yields faster iteration cycles and clearer stakeholder communication.
