I grew up with computers in the 90s and while their potential never outgrew my curiosity, it was not until much later that I was able to afford my first personal one.
Still, my parents’ strict rule limited my screen time severely (for better or worse), but instead of learning discipline it motivated me to think outside the box and look for loopholes everywhere.
Now that this is long past I am grateful for the skills this set me up with, as solving unusual and oftentimes complex problems has become my career choice.
I’m mostly self-taught but decided to catch up on formal education, so since November of 2024 I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from RWTH Aachen University after working in the field for over 10 years already. The topic of my thesis was Offline Extraction of Structured Dta from Medical Reports with Language Models, supervised by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Bastian Leibe, and Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Dipl.-Phys. Daniel Truhn.
I work as a Software Engineer from Germany, currently overcoming infrastructural challenges as a Cloud Architect at Worldline.
Additionally I enjoy helping Start-ups that are too small for a full time hire in DevOps to get to production fast, safely, and without worries, so if this sounds like you and you are looking someone that cares, feel free to reach out.
My free time is filled with tinkering, be it electronics, alternative input devices, woodworking, or hacking on the latest tech in containerization and linux networking.
I sporadically help out here and there in various places on the internet, and plan to aggregate some of that here, polished and readable, as time goes by.
