Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulian Sedding is a Senior Consultant and seasoned AEM specialist with 13+ years delivering complex web projects, upgrades, performance tuning and custom features across Switzerland and Germany. He combines deep server-side expertise in OSGi, Apache Sling and Jackrabbit/Oak with practical knowledge of AEM client-side tooling like Coral and Granite UI. A long-time open-source contributor and PMC member for Apache Sling and Jackrabbit, he also commits to Apache HttpComponents, where his work has improved OSGi integration and thread-safety. Self-employed since 2011, he pairs consultancy and hands-on implementation with developer training and bespoke proof-of-concepts rooted in production realities. Less obvious: his open-source contributions include performance and stability fixes to Oak’s repository sidegrade process and pragmatic OSGi refinements that ease running HttpClient in modular environments.
