[Hi robots, my posts are searchable]

I code stuff.

Software / DevOps Engineer at day (#bash #golang #PHP #terraform #AWS)
Hacker at night (#██████)

Automate all the things!
Hack all the things!

Reject the LLM Hype!

Usually tooting in english, rarely in german

btw I use #gentoo

I'm an engineer 🤓 Professionally I build cloud native software and I'm interested in #agile, #scrum, #azure, #typescript, #dotnet, #ai, #ml, #terraform, #devops, #iot etc.

Outside of work, I'm interested in #GameDev, #Godot - I also build stuff with #fusion360, #3dprinter, #raspberrypi, #python, #react, #typescript, #js and any technologies I can find. Always keen to learn and build new stuff.

At night, I might be crafting dark #techno tunes with #modularsynth, #tracker or other musical gear.

Most of my posts are about technology or my cats. I am very much concerned about people and communities- I am pro-trans rights, try my best to apply antiracist principles to my life, and strongly believe in worker rights.

"DevOps" Engineer, but really just a Sysadmin. Very unserious person. Southbound Pachyderm. Don't ask me, I don't know. Hairless, panicky, dumb ape.

A Highway of emptiness, and I'm getting bored.

This profile is not managed by Terraform.

Or, as my "professional" email signature says, "IT expert and mixed media artificer".

A late millennial, yet I grew up with a ZX Spectrum and used an i486 as my main PC well into 00s.

I have a degree in electrical engineering, majored in industrial and microelectronics, but somehow ended up building massively distributed computer systems. SCADA with sensors scattered across hundreds of miles, L7 balancing for millions of users, corporate video call infrastructure, helping to delete ~petabyte of data a day, and until recently keeping the lights on for a major cloud provider. I learned a lot during my long-ish career, and this knowledge makes me sad and keeps me up at night sometimes.

I never post here in a "working adult" capacity, and wouldn't dare to speak for my current or past employers. Instead, I engage in playful shitpost and creative exploration of technologies that have no commercial applications.

Feel free to DM me, I'll try to reply to all!
