Christian “Jippi” Winther

Illustrated portrait of Christian Winther

Software, and the people who run it.

Platform/Software engineer & engineering leader out of Copenhagen.
I build developer tooling, platforms and backends in Go, TypeScript and PHP, and I've led teams as CTO and engineering manager — always where software meets wetware.
