Simon Schrottner
Flagsmith
I help teams release faster and with more confidence — through open standards, feature flagging, and the communities that make both possible.
I am a software engineer and CNCF Ambassador based in Austria, and a maintainer of OpenFeature — the CNCF vendor-neutral standard for feature flagging. I contribute across the full organisation in Java, Python, Go, and JavaScript, spanning the open standard itself, testing automation across a polyglot environment, and guiding teams and individuals in adopting OpenFeature in production.
I am passionate about developer experience, open standards, and building communities where people help each other grow. I regularly speak at conferences and mentor individuals taking their first steps in the open source world.
