Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Höffner is a Deputy Head of DevOps with 12 years of experience bridging cognitive science research and production-grade infrastructure for robotics, embedded systems, and ML workloads. He leads design and operation of an edge cloud platform built on the HashiCorp stack, shepherds CI/CD best practices, and contributes to build and SBOM/CVE processes at Fraunhofer MEVIS. His background in natural language understanding for household robots gives him a research-informed view on data and model lifecycle challenges that he applies to infrastructure decisions. A pragmatic engineer, he has hands-on experience refactoring backend systems—demonstrated by contributions to Intuit’s open-source Wasabi A/B testing service—and continually tightens testing and pagination logic for more reliable APIs. Sebastian combines strategic team leadership, interview and prioritization responsibilities, and day-to-day platform engineering to move research prototypes toward safe, maintainable production. Based in Germany, he pairs top academic results in cognitive science with deep operational know-how across cloud, edge, and embedded domains.
