Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Trüg is a seasoned software engineer with 25 years in the field and 12 years of deep C/C++ expertise, notably as a Nokia Certified Qt Specialist and long-time KDE contributor. He combines GUI and desktop engineering with practical mastery of semantic technologies—RDF and SPARQL are everyday tools—plus experience in Java, Python, HTML, XML and databases like Virtuoso and MySQL. His work spans research, consulting and product engineering, from maintaining KDE subprojects and integrating Nepomuk into desktop environments to building semantic web solutions through his consultancy and contributions at OpenLink. Comfortable across Linux systems and full development stacks, he brings both open-source stewardship and hands-on implementation experience to complex data and UI problems. Now at Wikimedia Foundation, he continues to bridge semantic web principles with user-facing software, a rare blend that often surfaces in long-lived community projects rather than short-term product sprints.
