Ahoy, glad you made it here!

I'm Stefan Exner, currently working as IT freelancer (Development, Consulting, ...) and living in Hamburg, Germany.

My favourite work could be described as simply helping people solve their technology related problems. This can include identifying the actual needs with them, choosing a proper technical stack to build on, developing a corresponding system myself, translating business requirements into technical ones and/or supporting an existing team. I love building MVPs and agile, iterative development. Start with something small and let it grow based on the respective circumstances.

Here's a short summary of my skills and work experience, the full version can be found on the About Me page.

Importing an external Feed into Jekyll

A simple script approach to import posts from an external feed into a Jekyll blog using HEY World’s atom feed as an example. Contains some special workarounds to fix the feed’s contents, but should work with every well-formed RSS feed out there with a little customisation.
