Product & Leadership
Understanding requirements, making technical decisions, evolving the architecture, and setting up a team so that features reach users reliably.
Head of IT & Senior Developer · recordJet
Oliver Schöndorn.
At recordJet, my team and I are responsible for the technology behind digital music distribution, from the product to the systems to the decisions that hold both together.
I built my first websites at 16 and sold development work at 18. Since then I’ve worked across almost every layer of the web stack: PHP, TypeScript, React, Scala, MariaDB, hosting, deployment, monitoring, authentication, payments, internal tooling.
Along the way, individual websites turned into whole systems, and development turned into a role that combines code, leadership, and product responsibility.
Digital music distribution is a demanding environment: requirements arrive at the same time from the product, from the streaming stores, and from regulation. On top of that sits a catalogue that has grown over decades, and infrastructure that has to stay reliable both on-premises and in the cloud.
I spend a lot of time between code, systems, people, and decisions, making sure it all fits together.
Systems & Security
Keeping infrastructure, databases, monitoring, and deployments stable, and finding risks before they turn into incidents.
Workflows & Tooling
Improving internal workflows, including with AI, where it makes the work better without costing product or decision quality.
