Sabine Faude, Software Engineer at SEMA
Working with Eduardo was an absolute delight. His friendly and open demeanor created an atmosphere where collaboration and discussions on various topics were not only encouraged but also immensely enjoyable. […] Eduardo demonstrated exceptional expertise in guiding our team through the complexities of AWS, offering invaluable assistance whenever needed. He always provided insightful support and fostered a culture of continuous learning.
Katherine Garrod, former CISO & VP Digital Workplace at PPRO
Eduardo is an outstanding engineer. He’s personable and a pleasure to work with. A natural problem solver with cloud skills that are in high demand. Eduardo always took the initiative and while we worked together he had a far greater impact in our organisation than the role [he] was hired to perform alone. I’d jump at any chance to work with Eduardo again.
Nagaraj Bhat, DevOps Tech Lead at PPRO
Eduardo consistently demonstrated exemplary knowledge and expertise in AWS, programming, and architecting, contributing significantly to the success of our projects. […] His willingness to share insights, support colleagues, and contribute to the overall success of the team was truly commendable. […] Eduardo not only possesses a deep understanding of software development and infrastructure but also can effectively communicate complex concepts to team members, making him an invaluable asset to any project.

Sven Ramuschkat, Founder of tecRacer Group - October 2020 (originally in German)
Mr. Hernacki was highly motivated right from the start and showed an extraordinarily high degree of initiative, motivation and collegiality. […] His work results were always of very good quality, even with changing customer requirements and under sometimes difficult conditions. He was always up to the task, even under extreme time pressure and workload. He carried out outstanding and efficient teamwork.
Stefan Stein, Managing Director (Germany) at Commerce Connector, now PriceSpider - July 2019
Mr. Hernacki possesses excellent specialist knowledge extending far beyond the mainstream […] He always completed his tasks completely autonomously, with much diligence and according to a well-thought plan. He always worked serenely, thoughtfully, target-oriented and extremely precisely. […] He was always helpful, courteous, and where necessary, he put the interests of others before his own.
Technology Stacks and Practices
I am not limited to a specific technology or platform and can become proficient in any technology given enough time. I have worked with the Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and Rust ecosystems in the past and have had a lot of contact with Java and Go systems (plus experimented with a few more).
I have specialized heavily in the AWS Cloud and know its ins and outs well – not only from the perspectives of Software Architecture and Development but also Operations, Security, and Governance.
At last, I am an advocate of the “you build it, you run it” mentality and of the practices necessary for the Continuous Delivery discipline.
Working Methods
-
With your team: Colleagues and peers acknowledge me as a team member valued for my collaborative and friendly demeanor, complemented by my dedication to continuous technical improvement. I believe in multiplying my impact by supporting and elevating others and enjoy mentoring junior engineers, doing pair-programming, tackling challenging problems with my peers, and engaging with business stakeholders. If there’s an opportunity to support your team, I’d be grateful for the chance to contribute.
-
Solo: I am naturally curious, self-motivated, and have a track record of delivering quality work with minimal guidance, even under pressure. I make a concerted effort to ask the necessary questions and seek out solutions independently. I strive to communicate my findings and results clearly, ensuring that all peers can easily follow my progress.
Practicalities
-
Location: I am based in Munich and primarily offer remote services, but I am open to occasional on-site visits outside Munich, especially if you cover my travel and accommodation expenses or agree on an all-inclusive rate per day of travel. Hybrid or on-site work is also possible if your team is in Munich.
-
Availability: I am open for part and full-time contracts for 4 or 5 days a week, up to 8 hours a day. I prefer short (3 to 6 months) and mid-term (9 to 12 months) contracts, though I am also open to longer-term arrangements, depending on the specifics of the project.
-
Working Across Time Zones: I have experience collaborating with colleagues in different time zones (Americas, Europe, and Asia). This is an option, provided the work aligns with asynchronous communication.
-
Languages: I’m a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and fluent in both English and German.
-
Company: I’m registered as a Freelancer (Freiberufler) at the Munich Tax Office (Finanzamt München) in Germany.
