Sebastian Rosenbohm
Forward deployed engineer. I build production systems on site, from the embedded controller to the platform above it.
Building production software since 2021: bus protocols on embedded controllers, the platforms and integrations above them, and AI systems for engineering data. I work where the software runs: industrial automation, drive technology, engineering software.

Selected work
Systems designed, built and shipped to production.
Bus communication protocol
A fast, memory-efficient communication protocol for industrial controllers, with client libraries in several languages, designed for embedded hardware with strict bandwidth and memory constraints.
Microservice platform for embedded devices
A cloud-connected IIoT and HMI ecosystem with per-device sensor binding, and an integrated app store distributing encrypted, signed updates and feature extensions to devices in the field.
Enterprise business applications
Product catalogues, ticket systems and planning tools, delivered from kick-off through go-live and maintenance, integrated with SAP, Teamcenter and relational databases.
Reinforcement-learned robot navigation
Navigation policies trained with reinforcement learning in a simulated environment and validated on the physical robot.
This site
Go, templ and htmx, without a Node toolchain. Language-agnostic applets run under one origin through a container contract, sessions are short-lived JWTs with key rotation, and every deployment is traceable to the exact commit it was built from.
A design system with eight independent axes
Theme, palette, colour scheme, mode, backdrop, pointer, material and physics as independent axes, composable in any combination through a shared set of colour roles.
Background
Roles, education and core technologies.
