Walldorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStefan Uhrig is a seasoned software leader with 21 years of experience, currently managing SAP HANA Spatial and the SAP HANA Vector Engine in Walldorf, Germany. He progressed through hands-on development and expert roles at SAP, blending deep database internals and spatial engineering with people and product leadership. Stefan is an active open-source contributor, notably enhancing HANA support across major GIS and database projects such as GeoTools, QGIS and DBeaver—implementing WKB parsers, JDBC dialects, and vector type support that bridge enterprise HANA features into community tools. He holds a master's in computer science from TU Darmstadt and is known for turning complex spatial-database challenges into robust, test-covered integrations. A less obvious strength is his sustained focus on interoperability: his work often lives at the intersection of proprietary DBMS capabilities and open-source ecosystems, making advanced HANA features more broadly usable.
