HAYVALLEY - Christian Ott

Hello, I’m Christian — software developer, consultant, all-round nerd, REWORKer, cyclist, minimalist, climate advocate, and father of two daughters.

I love solving problems, building great software, and making the world a little better along the way. I hold a degree in Computer Science and bring over 30 years of experience in the IT industry. I’ve been working as a freelance developer and consultant since 2010, and I’m also a speaker, author, and experienced project manager with product responsibility for healthcare software used across Germany.

I work AI-first, remote-first, pragmatically, and test-driven. I’m an open-source enthusiast and active contributor to the community.

AI can write code. I bring what it can’t: 30 years of experience and a sharp eye for architecture that scales, stays secure, and stands the test of time.
