Systems that run.
Pipelines that deliver.

CI/CD, infrastructure and operations from one senior engineer: designed, built and run by the person you talk to.

From chaos to structure.

Scattered scripts, manual deployments and blind spots in monitoring become one platform: deployments without downtime, measured in daily operations.

Services

DevOps that holds up in production

From the first pipeline to calm operations: eight areas, each grounded in production practice. Book them individually or combine them.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated build, test and deployment pipelines, from commit to production. The same commit produces the same release, every time.

GitLab CIGitHub ActionsJenkins

GitOps & Continuous Deployment

Deployments flow through Git: the desired state lives versioned in the repository. Argo CD or Flux continuously reconcile the cluster against it, with rollback by commit.

Argo CDFluxKustomize

Monitoring & Observability

Metrics, logs and alerts that surface problems before customers notice. Dashboards that answer the 3 a.m. question: what broke, and where.

PrometheusGrafanaLokiELK

Linux & Automation

Stable Linux systems and automation of recurring tasks: cleanly scripted, idempotent and documented for handover.

Database Operations

Setup, tuning and hardening of relational and in-memory databases, including tested backup and restore strategies.

Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure that lives in Git instead of in heads: versioned, repeatable and documented, for servers, networks and services.

TerraformPulumiAnsible

Containers & Orchestration

Containerized workloads and Kubernetes clusters: from dockerizing existing applications to production-grade cluster operations.

DockerKubernetesHelm

DevSecOps & Security

Security as part of the pipeline: vulnerability scanning, clean secrets management and hardened systems instead of after-the-fact patches.

Vulnerability ScansVaultHardening

Consulting & Training

Architecture reviews, tooling decisions and workshops. The goal: your team runs and extends the platform on its own.

CI/CD rebuild for a mid-sized software company

Replaced manual release processes with multi-stage GitLab CI pipelines including automated tests, artifact management and rollbacks.

Sealed-off infrastructure, reachable only via VPN

Built a complete infrastructure with no publicly reachable services. The only way in is a VPN tunnel, the only key a YubiKey.

Own products & tools

Alongside client work I build products of my own, from first idea to architecture and day-to-day operations. A selection:

In production

Control plane for company infrastructure

Multi-tenant platform that brings provisioning, inventory (CMDB), monitoring and cost tracking for several companies together. Creates VMs on Proxmox and in the cloud, optionally fully encrypted with remote unlock via SSH.

GoNext.jsPostgreSQLProxmox

In development

Digital vehicle handover for car rentals

Renters document the vehicle condition in a guided photo walkaround in the browser, an ML model detects damage. The result is a cryptographically signed PDF report, stored in line with GDPR.

GoPyTorchPostgreSQLPodman

In production

Product data right on pharmacy sites

Browser extension backed by a lean read-only API: shows prices, terpenes and details for medical cannabis flowers where patients already look. Data provenance stays strictly separated.

Manifest V3BunSQLite

In development

Self-hosted personal finance app

A private budgeting PWA that pulls accounts from two banks via FinTS and PSD2. Field-level encryption, passkey-only login, reachable only inside a private network.

FastAPISvelteKitPostgreSQLOpenBao

In development

Idle game built with Flutter

Incremental game with its own engine, a prestige system and a bot that hunts down balancing issues automatically. More than 1,100 tests keep the mechanics stable.

FlutterDart

In production

Real-time chess analysis as an overlay

A browser extension reads the position, a Rust program analyzes it with engines like Stockfish and draws suggestions right on top of the board. Opening book and voice output included.

RusteguiUCI

Open source

Gigapixel maps from game tiles

Go command-line tool that stitches tens of thousands of map tiles from an online game into a single image. Output as PNG, BigTIFF or DeepZoom pyramid, processed with libvips.

GolibvipsDeepZoom

In development

Video pipeline for YouTube

Semi-automated production chain: LLM-drafted scripts, a synthetic voice, rendering with Remotion and FFmpeg, upload via API.
