Profile: https://flows.cv/robinkeller

I really love making systems that people enjoy, whether that means software for customers, code architecture for developers, or process for employees. I'm a software architect first and foremost for the people involved.

When it comes to design, every answer seems to be "it depends." It's all about understanding as much as possible, which is why I prefer coding right along with the rest of the team. The best solutions come from fully experiencing the problems.

As far as coding goes, I'm good at TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, bash, Go, Java, PHP, and many others. They're each a tool for a different kind of job. Trying out a new one is always a lot of fun!
