About Me

Background

I'm a DevSecOps engineer at the start of my professional career with a strong interest in open-source software, automation, infrastructure, security, and privacy.
Through an internship during my school years, I first came into contact with computers, which eventually led me to study computer science. While my studies provided me with a solid foundation, most of what I actually enjoy and use today comes from building my own systems. Particularly during the COVID period, I began engaging with things that went far beyond the curriculum.
I specialized in IT security and systems development during my studies. In parallel, I also discovered my enthusiasm for certifications, standards, and processes as a way to develop and operate high-quality and secure systems in practice.

How It All Began

I started to get interested in self-hosting and IT security and experimented with open-source tools at home. At that time, most environments I was familiar with were based on the proprietary ecosystems of hyperscalers, but I was fascinated by the flexibility and transparency of open source.
I therefore asked myself: How far can I get with open-source tools?
This question started with Linux, Docker, and Nextcloud for file management, led me to Keycloak as user management, then to operating DNS servers and firewalls with pfSense. As my setups grew and manual management became tedious, I learned Ansible, Terraform, Proxmox, and finally Kubernetes.
Alongside this personal journey, I worked as a working student in various IT functions, for example as a software developer and platform engineer. In these roles, I got to know a range of real-world systems and was able to live out my ideas.

What I Enjoy

What I enjoy most is solving practical problems by combining existing software in meaningful ways. I find it exciting to figure out how systems fit together, where they fail, and how to make them more reliable, secure, and easier to use.
I have no problem spending time debugging, iterating, and making incremental improvements. For me, good technology doesn't mean reinventing everything, but understanding systems well enough to make informed decisions and trade-offs.
Finally, I'm happy to share this knowledge and learn from others. I enjoy being active in my network, giving talks, and attending events.

Personal Projects

Here's a selection of my personal projects. These are experiments and initiatives I've worked on outside my daily work to explore cloud-native technologies, security, and automation. Where possible, I link to the corresponding Git repositories so you can view the code and setups directly.

Docker and Hardening

My personal projects started with Linux, Docker, and experiments with containerization and hardening. I’ve tried to apply best practices: hardening Linux servers with Ansible, using minimal Docker images for efficiency and security, and generally using open-source tools like Proxmox and pfSense.
