Hi! I am Johannes Bornhold, a software engineer and engineering leader from Oldenburg in Germany. I build software and help organizations get better at building it — both professionally and out of genuine curiosity. Hands-on development as much as shaping how teams work together.
I look at both aspects in a similar way. In the case of programming as well as around the question of how to evolve an organization, I find that similar questions can guide the way:
- How can we make this work?
- Once something works: How can we make it work better?
Based on my own experience I found that in both cases a process based on interacting with other human beings is most effective and should be preferred over working out the answers alone.

This blog
This blog covers topics that cross my path during software engineering and related work. Early posts focus on Python-based web development and on Nix/NixOS for reproducible development and production environments. More recent writing reflects a broader scope — infrastructure, engineering leadership, and the organizational side of making software.
