TL;DR Building software for almost 20 years, and cloud platforms for over 8 years. Swiss army knife for all things cloud, platform, DevOps, and automation.

Welcome to my website! I am an experienced platform engineer and software developer with an academic background who equally loves both the development and the operations parts of DevOps. I thrive on complexity and enjoy solving difficult technical challenges, especially at the intersection of software, infrastructure, automation, and architecture. Technology continues to make complexity more manageable than ever, and I am proud to contribute to this development. If you feel we have shared interests, please get in touch.

I started my programming career as a 16 year old back in high school, and have been passionate about software engineering ever since, strongly focussing on “systems” and backend development (with a few excursions into the frontend world here and there). On the other hand, I am fascinated by Cloud and container technologies, server administration, automation, and CI/CD pipelines. hile completing my Ph.D. in cloud computing, I implemented and maintained countless cloud and service infrastructures of various sizes and complexities. The topic of my dissertation is “Self-Healing in Cloud Computing Platforms” – a machine learning based approach to reliability in the cloud.
