Jonas Seibert - Backend Developer

Java

I'm working with Java for about 10 years, more than 6 years of that with Java EE. In that time, I saw it all - the good, the bad and the ugly, if you will. Modern Java doesn't have to be slow, and I do my best to prove it with every new project.

Python

I use python for scripts to "get the job done", but I prefer a more structured language for larger projects.

SQL

I love playing around with SQL to see how much could be done directly on the database. As I'm also a bit impatient, it also has to be fast - a pretty good mix if you ask me.

Kotlin

As a huge JetBrains fan I instantly fell in love with Kotlin. I can still use my Java dependencies, but have a lot more syntactic sugar which leads to more concise code. My current side project is written in Kotlin Native!

PHP

We all bitch about PHP, but when I started programming, there was nearly no alternative to it for certain use cases. I know the ropes, but I still don't really like it for various reasons. It got a bit better with php7, but still.

C#

Never really did more than a few hobby projects. Thanks to it's similar syntax to Java I can work with it, but I don't know all the in's and out's.

Typescript

I switched to Typescript after having a particular nasty type bug. I'll prefer it over Javascript any day, but prefer to keep it in the frontend.

Vocastar UltraDeluxe

My current side project. For the lack of an easy to setup, resource friendly and cross platform Singstar clone, I started to build my own. It's written in Kotlin Native with a few C interop libraries for handling A/V. Very much WIP and not Github ready ;)

SQS-Connect

When I integrated Amazon SQS for my former employer I wasn't satisfied with the available JCA adapter options. I see the benefit of contributing to existing open source projects, but as I also wanted to learn what a JCA adapter exactly does - and how. So I built my own, and while there is still something to do (is a project ever really done though?), I'm pretty happy with what I got.

Filegur

Every now and then, you need to share large files. But email attachments only get you so far, and free hosters often are quite ad-riddled these days. So what'd be more natural than to just roll your own?

Brickout

I wanted to know how JS canvas works - so I wrote a breakout clone.

M3C

I started programming by developing Minecraft server plugins. So when I wanted to learn how server - client communication works on a network packet level, it was only logical for me to dive into the game's protocol. After it was done, I had a working (plugin extensible) console client!
