About

Hi, I am Felix Geisendörfer, a software developer living in Berlin, Germany.

Currently I’m working as a Staff Engineer for Datadog focusing on Continuous Profiling for Go.

Before that I spend 6.5 years working for Apple on Factory Tracability systems using PostgreSQL and Go.

And prior to that I co-founded and bootstrapped Transloadit into a profitable business, was one of the first contributors to node.js and worked on many other open source projects as well.

One of my spare time passions is robotics, so a few friends and I organized an event around programming flying robots with JavaScript called NodeCopter which has now turned into a small community.

You can find me on twitter and github, or contact me directly.

I love meeting new people, so if you're in Berlin, I'm almost always up for having lunch or coffee - just get in touch!

Please use Github for any questions or bug reports concerning my open source projects, this way the information can become useful to everybody.

I try to answer all e-mails, but sometimes I have a bit of a backlog.
