Java Freelancer &
Cloud-Native Specialist

20+ years of experience delivering robust, scalable software — from enterprise desktop to cloud-native microservices.

Tom Seidel

šŸ‘‹ Hello!

I'm Tom Seidel, a freelance consultant with over 20 years of experience in Java development. My focus lies in designing and implementing sophisticated software solutions — from traditional desktop applications to modern, containerized web applications in the cloud.

As both a developer and architect, I support projects end-to-end: from the initial concept and architecture to production-ready implementation. In recent years, I've specialized in cloud technologies, helping companies successfully launch new Java-based cloud projects or migrate existing monolithic systems to scalable microservice architectures — leveraging modern DevOps tools and methodologies.

My goal: to deliver sustainable, maintainable, and high-performance software solutions that create real value.
