Sebastian David Schiller-Stoff

I specialize in delivering bespoke solutions for web and mobile app development, software engineering, and optimizing business processes through AI. My passion lies in ensuring the reliability of complex research software and data in science, emphasizing the crucial role of well-implemented testing strategies. Without such strategies, interpretations can be compromised by overly optimistic assumptions, particularly in software producing unstable and non-reproducible results.

Currently serving as a Senior Developer (Full-Stack Engineer) at the DDH Departement of Digital Humanities (former: ZIM Centre for Information Modelling) at the University of Graz, I bring a wealth of experience to every project. In my capacity as a full-stack engineer, I hold a pivotal role in the development of the new version of GAMS, the digital archive at DDH Graz. This role showcases my dedication to cutting-edge technology and my responsibility for the seamless evolution of critical digital infrastructure.

Within the Cantus Network project, I've demonstrated expertise in semantically enriched digital editions of the libri ordinarii of the Salzburg metropolitan province. This work showcases my commitment to deep digital exploration and scientific evaluation of historical source material, particularly in the realm of liturgy.

In the DERLA project, a collaboration with the Center for Jewish Studies Graz, I lead efforts in the digital long-term archiving and processing of research data. Additionally, I undertake digital-geographical analyses, contributing to the project's overarching goals. My academic background includes a degree in history, art history, and digital humanities from the University of Graz.
