๐ค My name is Jan Riethmayer and I hail from the bustling metropolis of London. I'm a father of two amazing daughters and am looking for my next big opportunity while working as fractional CTO/consultant.
๐ I live in London ๐ฌ๐ง since 2016 and grew up in Berlin-Kreuzberg ๐ฉ๐ช๐น๐ท. My mom is from Serbia ๐ท๐ธ, my dad is a Swabian๐ฉ๐ช. I speak more Turkish than Serbian, which actually doesnโt mean much ๐.
๐I am husband to a ๐ฌscientist and ๐๏ธโโ๏ธfeminist (a.k.a. The Boss) and passionate about ๐ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). I turned father during a Series A and took 3 months paternity leave to lead by example, while relying on a world class team at Zencargo.
๐พ I love product and tech (polyglot programmer).
If I had a tattoo, it would be a Ruby
-tattoo (my first intimate and loving relationship with programming).
Currently I'm mostly playing with Python
, Typescript
and Next.js
, but I also love Go
, Elixir
and R
.
๐I love reading with a 90:5:5 ratio of non-fiction to fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, history) and you need to tell me if I annoy you with book recommendations. Check out my GoodReads
๐ I was addicted to playing street-ball, ๐น loved to skate, was a competitive breakdancer, hobby freestyle rapper ๐ and Bundesliga MTG player ๐. I fought 10 years for the Horde ๐ (World of Warcraft). I am mostly playing with my kids at the moment (and loving it).
