About

I'm Stefan Baumgartner, I'm a software architect, developer, and consultant from Linz, Austria. My focus lies on programming languages, where I mostly work in JavaScript/TypeScript and Rust.

I help organisations world-wide to get better at TypeScript, produce more reliable code and improve their software.

I also help teams to adopt Rust for their unique use-cases, with a special focus on code quality, productivity and performance.

Currently, I'm full-time employed. But I work -- occasionally -- as a consultant, trainer, and speaker on selected projects with interesting challenges. If you are curious about Rust, TypeScript and anything in-between, be sure to get in touch.

Writing

My articles have been published internationally in renowned publications, and I work with O'Reilly, Manning, Smashing Magazine and Heise amongst others.

I'm the author of three books:

TypeScript Cookbook (O'Reilly, 2023)
TypeScript in 50 Lessons (Smashing Magazine, 2021)
Front-end Tooling with Gulp, Bower, and Yeoman (Manning, 2016)

Speaking

I speak regularly at conferences and meetups around the world. I've been a keynote speaker at We Are Developers, Kubernetes Community Days, and spoke at many conferences around the world. I limit my speaking engagements at the moment, but if you have an interesting event, feel free to contact me.
