About me

The person behind bae.hr.

For more than ten years I have been building systems that shouldn't wake anyone at night.

From server room to platform.

I ran my first servers as a teenager: services, websites and hosting for friends and acquaintances.

That turned into a profession, with an apprenticeship and several years at a web hoster, where reliable operations were the actual product. As a systems engineer I was then responsible for larger environments and expanded their automation.

Today I build platforms on which a deployment is routine, reproducible and monitored. What I still enjoy most is simplifying complex systems until they almost run themselves.

Widely used tools such as GitLab CI, Ansible and Kubernetes
