About

Bruhin Software is a freelancing company founded by Florian Bruhin and located near Rapperswil, Switzerland.

I’m deeply involved in various open-source software projects. However, I’m pragmatic about it: I always believe in using the right tool for the job and the given circumstances.

Skills and services

Software development

I’m an experienced software developer. My main focus is on consulting and trainings for the following technologies:

• Python (since 2011)
• Graphical user interfaces with PyQt and PySide / Qt for Python (since 2013)
• Testing with pytest (since 2015)

I’m no stranger to low-level programming either: As part of my apprenticeship as an electronics engineer, I’ve done embedded firmware development in C (since 2011), and Assembler (x86, MSP430). Part-time, I’m working as a research assistant for the Operating Systems course at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences (HSR Rapperswil).

Finally, I’ve also collected some experience with a variety of other technologies such as Bash, C++, C#, Haskell, Java, JavaScript as well as HTML/CSS and LaTeX.

Trainings

I’ve given trainings about various topics around Python and pytest at conferences and in companies – both as a trainer for Python Academy as well as independently.

Consulting

Due to my expertise with Python, PyQt/PySide and pytest I’ve seen and experienced a lot of different use-cases and issues around those technologies. I’d be happy to help you getting started, helping you out if you’re stuck or help you follow best practices!
