Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefan Schinkel is a DevSecOps engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience, combining a rigorous academic background (PhD in Cognitive Science) with practical expertise in backend development, MLOps, and secure operations. Based in the Berlin area, he has held technical leadership and CTO roles at Paxlife and contributed to MLOps and RISC-V virtual prototyping projects at Ambrosys before joining the University of Potsdam's CIO office. Comfortable across the stack, Stefan builds CI/CD-driven, test-first systems in Python and Postgres and brings operational muscle from running Linux servers to managing institutional IT. He blends a scientist’s attention to experimental rigor with a developer’s pragmatism—hence his self-deprecating “I yell at computers for a living.” Known for translating research-grade problems into production-ready services, he excels at bridging academia and industry while keeping security and maintainability front and center.
