I am working as a software developer since I finished my masters in 2013 at Heidelberg University. I started my career in Software Development at SAP SE in Walldorf working on Analytics and Cloud Foundry. In 2019, I decided to leave SAP and joined Red Hat.

At Red Hat, I am working as Site Reliablity Engineer, keeping the lights on for several OpenShift clusters.

To share my passion for high quality code and help learners, I’m mentoring Go newcomers on exercism.io.

I am passionate about Open Source software development, which was one reason for me to move to an Open Source company. You can find some of my work on my github profile.

Whenever I get new insights worth sharing, be it during work or one of my numerous private projects, I’m publishing it either on opensource.com or on my own blog if I can find time for writing.
