There is not much to say about me.
I am an old-school automation engineer in a modern world. I try to use technology sensibly and not to follow trends blindly.
There are a few things I like:
I have gathered extensive experience in the IT business, on different sides. On the development, operations and management side. I have made my share of mistakes, and learned a lot of lessons.
I have always been and will always be, a supporter of the open source software movement. For this reason I am also an active member of the following associations and community efforts:
As part of the Cloud Native Austria association I am co-organising the Cloud Native Vienna chapter meetups.
At this moment I am not looking for an engagement. However, you can still contact me even if you just want to say "Hello".
Quite simple. It gets the job done. It is functional. It is accessible. I took a lot of inspiration from the creator of bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com. It is just all a website needs to be.
