Hi, I'm Waldemar Kornewald - a freelance software engineer based in Hamburg, Germany. If you have complex code/bugs and need help designing easy to understand, maintainable code that prevents commonly recurring problems, please get in touch.

I'm available remote world-wide or on-site in Hamburg and my current primary focus is on Kotlin Multiplatform and Android development and architecture consulting. In the past I've also worked for many years with Python, Django, TypeScript, React, Flutter, Kubernetes and other technologies, so I have a broad experience profile.

If you need help with one of your projects just contact me: hello@ensody.com
