Hi, my name is Julian Gommlich. Happy to meet you!

My greatest passion is sustainability in IT - a fascinating field of research and a challenge for all software practitioners. I aim at finding and implementing ways to reduce the resource consumtion of web applications; doing my part in saving the world!

I am grateful that I don't have to do all of this alone, but have many great people in my life who accompany me. So let's meet and connect!
