Hey there, I’m Simon Mair — a developer passionate about all things backend and infrastructure. Based in Austria, I specialize in building APIs, services, and scalable systems using Java with Spring Boot. Whether it's running on AWS, Azure, or other cloud platforms, I love solving complex problems with clean code.

When I step away from the backend world, I become a full-stack developer. From writing Angular frontends to connecting them with APIs, I enjoy bringing end-to-end solutions to life. (Although, I’ll admit, my UI design skills sometimes need a little help.)

My toolbelt includes:

• Backends: Spring Boot, Java, and Python
• Frontends: Angular with tools like FullCalendar and Cypress
• Cloud Platforms: AWS (CDK, EC2, S3, CloudFront), Azure SQL, and Firestore
• DevOps: Infrastructure automation with CDK, GitLab CI/CD, and PowerShell
• Custom Integrations: Jira tooling, custom workflows, and enterprise systems

I built this blog with Astro — because it's lightweight, fast, and lets me focus on writing. Here, I share technical insights, tutorials, and my favorite hacks as a Spring Boot and Angular developer. You’ll also find deep dives into infrastructure, configuration tips, and ways to make development more fun (and productive).

When I’m not writing code, I enjoy learning about new technologies, experimenting with APIs, or figuring out elegant ways to integrate complex systems.

Thanks for stopping by — let’s build something great together!
