Summary
Stefan Brach is a director and full-stack Java developer based in London with 10 years of professional experience and a strong foundation in mathematics. He leads Seaside Application Software, building Java and Kotlin applications with an emphasis on clear, simple code and pragmatic engineering. His background spans enterprise Java, Play and Dropwizard frameworks, Android and backend work for NFC and video platforms, and practical DevOps tools like Docker and Jenkins. Stefan pairs rigorous mathematical training (MSc/MA in Mathematics) with hands-on product delivery, which surfaces in well-structured, maintainable systems rather than clever but brittle solutions. He has repeatedly operated in contract and product roles across government, corporate, and startup contexts, comfortable moving between code, architecture, and client-facing delivery. Colleagues describe him as someone who favors clarity and longevity in code — a builder who treats simplicity as a feature.
