Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTimo Gasda is a seasoned full‑stack software leader with 12 years of experience, now managing the Cloudscape design system team at AWS from Berlin. He combines hands‑on front‑end expertise—contributing React components, accessibility improvements, and visual refresh work for Cloudscape—with back-end experience extending a Python SAP HANA connector to handle additional data types and stored procedures. Earlier roles at AWS, SAP, and as a freelance developer reflect a pragmatic ability to ship user-facing consoles and robust integrations across the stack. Timo holds an MSc in IT‑Systems Engineering from the Hasso Plattner Institute and brings a developer-first management style that still dives into code and documentation. An interesting throughline is his blend of enterprise-scale UI design system stewardship and low-level protocol work, showing comfort from pixels to protocols.
