Simon Schrottner is a software engineer who has spent more than a decade working on the tools other engineers build on top of. He maintains OpenFeature, including its flagd implementation, and contributes as a CNCF and AAIF Ambassador. He speaks about OpenFeature and the systems around it at conferences across Europe and beyond.

Left of the Loop grew out of a blog series argued in public, post by post, stress-tested by readers who pushed back before any of it became a book. The failures in it are his own. Working things out in public is still how he prefers to do it.

He lives in Austria and writes at schrottner.at.
