Sebahattin "Sebo" Özata
Principal Engineer · Distributed Systems Architect
Over 25 years of project experience · Banking · Public Sector · Telecoms
I am responsible for the design and evolution of complex platforms for some of Germany's most recognised organisations — including Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telekom, KfW, Lufthansa, Deutsche Bahn and federal agencies such as BAMF and the Federal Employment Agency.
My focus is on distributed system architectures, security design and multi-tenant platforms. I design systems that remain stable under load, meet regulatory requirements and are maintainable in the long term — from strategic architectural decisions through to production-ready delivery.
As founder of Brainforms Software and architect of the omex framework, I have been developing my own cloud-based platform for workflow and task management since 2009. I work in German, English and Turkish.
