What I work on

My focus is Developer Experience and platform engineering: CI/CD pipelines, internal developer platforms on Kubernetes, and a few small open-source projects on the side. The recurring theme is feedback loops — shortening the distance between an idea and the moment someone uses it.

Most of the day-to-day is TypeScript and Node.js, alongside the usual supporting cast of Docker, Postgres, and GitHub Actions. I've been at the same large German IT company since 2018, mostly working on internal developer tooling. Outside of work I tinker with self-hosted infrastructure and write about what I learn — the projects page collects the side things, and the blog is where the writing lives.
