I help teams release faster and with more confidence — through open standards, feature flagging, and the communities that make both possible.I am Simon — software engineer, open source enthusiast, CNCF Ambassador, and father. Based in Austria, happiest when climbing something or cooking for a crowd.I am a maintainer of OpenFeature, the CNCF vendor-neutral standard for feature flagging, contributing across the full organisation in Java, Python, Go, and JavaScript. I care deeply about developer experience and building communities where people help each other grow.At Dynatrace I wore many hats — from OSPO support and OpenFeature adoption to Team Captain, intern mentor, and conference speaker. Dynatrace and I parted ways recently, and I am open to conversations about what comes next.Long-time Couchsurfer and Warmshowers host — I believe in the kind of community where strangers help each other out, no strings attached.I still describe myself as an Enabler. That part hasn't changed.
