Thorsten Suckow-Homberg

Senior Full Stack Engineer

Advocating Software Development as a craft.

I collaborate with international clients to architect maintainable, high-quality web applications. My technical foundation rests on Object-Oriented Design and the development of scalable architectures using JavaScript, PHP, and modern frontend frameworks.

Open Source Leadership

I am the author and lead maintainer of the messaging suite conjoon. My work on UI libraries, specifically Ext.ux.Livegrid, has been validated by widespread industry adoption, including its integration into the Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Most recently, I expanded my portfolio by engineering the game framework helios and authoring the Manifesto for AI-augmented Software Craftsmanship.

Academic Focus: Computer Graphics & Engineering

Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Trier University of Applied Sciences, I am expanding my specialization into Real-Time Rendering Pipelines and Computer Graphics.

Operating at the intersection of mathematics, system architecture, and visual computing, I conduct research on software architecture and game development using C++ and OpenGL. I frequently publish my findings.
