Sebastian Rode

Sebastian studied biophysics at Technical University Berlin and Technical University Munich and got his doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of Cologne. As a soft matter researcher at Forschungszentrum Jülich, he studied the motion of microswimmers via high-performance computer (HPC) simulations. During his scientific work, he discovered his love for data analysis and visualization with Python.

Python proved to be a powerful all-arounder, so powerful in fact that in 2013 Sebastian founded djangsters - a whole company built around Django/Python web development.

At djangsters he works with customers to understand their problems and enables the team to deliver well working solutions. He has strong experience in PostgreSQL, Django, pandas, matplotlib, and HPC simulations.

In his freetime he is a cinema enthusiast, loves going out to nature and especially enjoys sailing.

The fine print in Django release notes
Sebastian Rode

Do you make it to the end of the long list of changes each Django version brings? What goes through your head? Are you bored, lost, excited, or confused?

For us sometimes a seemingly plain sentence would trigger light bulb moments.

Find beauty in the small things. It’s the small things that make up everything.
