Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTobias Kunze is a development consultant and engineer with 13 years of experience designing and shipping web applications, APIs, and event-focused tooling from Oranienburg, Germany. He builds clean, well-integrated backend systems (primarily Python/Django) and pairs them with pragmatic frontend work (vue.js) and operations so projects are production-ready end-to-end. As founder of pretalx and contributor to notable open-source projects like Django and Datasette, he combines product-minded engineering with real-world event operations — he runs events and the software that powers them. His contributions range from core framework bug fixes to feature work in conference and ticketing platforms, showing a focus on robustness, edge cases, and developer UX. Comfortable beyond his preferred stack, Tobias gravitates toward problems that require integrating systems and improving the developer and operator experience.
