Software that holds up in operation

Tom Schorn, born 1994, builds web applications and the cloud they run on.

Tom Schorn, born 1994, develops web applications and sets up the infrastructure they run on, mostly in the cloud. Before that, he spent ten years keeping automated production lines running. He is looking for a permanent position as a full-stack developer with a cloud focus, in Rhineland-Palatinate or remote.

At home

A network bigger than it needs to be
