Native Development

C/C++ (♥), Python, Rust, Java or Kotlin - let’s go! My favourite rendering APIs? Vulkan, OpenGL (with GLSL). Librarys? Vulkan SDK, libcurl, GLUT, SDL2 and Dear ImGui. And did you know that I’m the maintainer of Open-Smartwatch?

Web Development

PHP, HTML, CSS, JS and TS - you name it! Libraries and Frameworks? Python Flask or FastAPI (♥) (with Poetry), Angular, Cordova and Electron. Things I know? Well, NodeJS/NPM and NVM.

Development operations

DevOps? Of course! Gitlab CI, GitHub Actions, Docker and Kubernetes: Starting with just some code-format-checks up to tested, scaled, auto-deployed and prodution-ready apps - even this site is part of a CI pipeline!

Systems administration

Linux is my world! I also enjoy working with a lot of other server-related software: Virtualisation (KVM, Docker, Kubernetes), storage (ZFS, NFS), services (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, BookStack and many more) or management (Netdata, Ansible) are only some of my loved tools!

Software engineering

I love to design systems: Starting by just the internal class diagrams of a server instance up to the whole API backend with distributed MicroServices.

Webdesign

You need a website or want to modify an existing one? Wordpress, Joomla and now Hugo - I worked with all of them.

Pretty empty on my projects page, right? Well, sadly I have a lot to do, so I have not much time to regulary update this anymore… In case you want to see my public-facing stuff, checkout my GitHub instead. Otherwise, see you around!
