What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic team where I can grow my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

Hello, my name is Claas Stoertenbecker, and I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong focus on leveraging technology to address real-world challenges. I believe that software is a powerful tool for problem-solving, and I am committed to mastering both familiar and new technologies to deliver effective solutions. My journey in software engineering has equipped me with a diverse skill set, particularly in cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes, and distributed systems.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in backend development, utilizing design patterns such as CQRS and working with event streaming platforms like Kafka. My role at XCNT has allowed me to autonomously specify and implement product features while coordinating with product owners. I have also taken on responsibilities such as onboarding external freelancers and ensuring the reliability of distributed systems in production environments.

In addition to my professional experience, I have engaged in various projects that showcase my technical abilities, including developing a function as a service platform and creating tools to enhance Kubernetes secret management. I am eager to continue my journey in software engineering, contributing to innovative projects that make a difference.
