Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Schärer is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications, e-commerce platforms, desktop tools and embedded solutions, currently leading frontend and backend development for Switzerland’s largest household appliance online shop at valantic. He combines deep Java and JavaScript expertise—particularly MERN-like stacks and Hybris/SAP e-commerce—with hands-on experience in C++, Python, Android and TensorFlow, and has shipped a mobile app used by over 100,000 daily users. A former startup co-founder and long-time consultant, he balances rapid delivery with maintainability and often takes on sprint planning and team coordination duties. Comfortable across Scrum teams and diverse company cultures, he also carries unusual early-career experience developing a finance package still in use and building microcontroller programs, showing both product intuition and low-level craftsmanship.
