Who am I?

Full stack developer by day.

Technology enthusiast (most recently some Kubernetes, Svelte and Rust) by night... and in my spare time.

I believe in the principles of Free Software. I also deeply care about privacy, which is why I run my own home-server with Nextcloud and Gitea; deployed and maintained via Ansible playbooks.

Finally, I also have Kubernetes setup on Oracle Free Tier. Infrastructure is managed with Terraform, ArgoCD, Argo Events and Renovate. Add a little CertManager and custom Kuberentes Operators.

Even though the backend is my strong suite, I love to learn and tinker with new things. Hence, I have experience at all levels: from Kubernetes all the way to the frontend.
