Christoph Sassenberg

Hello. My name is Christoph Sassenberg. I do stuff with computers, mostly around the web. I hold a master's degree and its old hermannic counterpart "Diplom" in computer science, if you are into that sort of thing.

In more than 10 years of commercial software development, I have gained valuable experience in programming, architectures, software development methodologies, and delivering customer value.

If you would like to contact me, you can do so by using "mail" at this very domain name.

You can also find me on:

• twitter
• linkedin
• xing
• github

My main body of professional experience is delivering solutions using Ruby, Java or JavaScript. Clojure, Elixir, Rust, Go and TypeScript have come to the mix lately.

In addition to that, I can also help with:

• Research & Development
• Prototyping
• Project Inception
• Software Delivery Process
• Technical Due Diligence
• Hiring
• Technical Leadership/Team Building
• Project Management
