SEEKING WORK | Hamburg, Germany | Remote (I'm in CET, but flexible)
Backend engineer working on systems that can prove what they do with data: Confidential computing, remote attestation, reproducible builds.
Very comfortable in Go, some experience in Rust. Familiar with Kubernetes and Postgres.
Most recently I spent 14 months contracting on OpenPCC, an open source variant of Apple's Private Cloud Compute. I'm now building verbond.dev, an open-source runtime that verifiably limits what untrusted code can do with your data.
I'm a good fit if:
- Your product or service says "we never see your data", and customers or auditors are starting to ask you to prove it.
- You've looked at Confidential Computing, but aren't sure where to start.
- You need a Go backend built or reviewed with data-privacy in mind.
