Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Novak is a software engineer and solutions architect with a decade of hands-on experience building and migrating distributed, cloud-native systems from on-prem to Kubernetes. Based in Niederlenz, Switzerland, he has designed hosting platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and microservice runtimes while integrating identity (OpenID Connect), IoT (MQTT), and CRM APIs like HubSpot. His work spans end-to-end platform setup—Cilium networking, Azure/GitLab/GitHub pipelines—and development of both customer-facing web apps and open-source middleware. Simon has a practical focus on operational reliability and developer workflows, often leading migrations and hosting deployments that reduce operational entropy. Early career grounding in electronics and long-term involvement in engineering teams give him a pragmatic systems perspective that complements his architecture work. The GitHub tagline "Reversing the entropy" reflects his tendency to bring order to complex distributed environments.
