Thomas Cyron is an experienced software engineer and founder with 15 years building backend systems, cloud tooling, and consumer apps from Munich. He has held technical leadership roles at Hetzner Cloud—where he led Object Storage and earlier backend teams—and at fintech and mobility startups, blending hands-on engineering with team and product stewardship. A steady open-source contributor, Thomas has made notable improvements to Hetzner Cloud projects such as the CLI and CSI driver, adding Floating IP management, topology awareness, idempotency fixes, and shell completions that improve day‑to‑day operator workflows. He also maintains a long-running practice in macOS and iOS development, reflecting a breadth across platforms and user-facing concerns. Now running his own company, he combines operator-grade cloud experience with pragmatic product instincts to deliver reliable, testable systems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who elevates reliability through small, well-tested improvements rather than grand redesigns.
