Top SchoolSimon N is a Senior Developer based in Vienna with 11 years of experience building full-stack, containerized microservices and real-time streaming UIs. He has a strong frontend focus from recent senior roles and a proven track record contributing to high-profile open-source projects like Material-UI, where he implemented Luxon date/time support and improved type safety. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs pragmatic infrastructure work with attention to typings, tests, and maintainability to reduce friction in large codebases. His background includes long-tenured engineering at a live-streaming company and hands-on internships and service work that shaped a practical, user-centered approach. Simon’s quiet rigor shows in resolving merge conflicts and typing edge cases—small technical debts that often block teams but rarely make the changelog.
