About

Hi there, I am a german-born developer who likes to write about all kinds of tech-related things. I started out with R initially and enjoy devops-related topics lately.

I graduated in Geoinformatics (2016) at Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena and finished a PhD in environmental modeling in 2022. A publication list can be found on Google Scholar.

I live in Zurich, Switzerland and work at cynkra GmbH where I do a mix between DevOps (Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible) and R data science consulting.

I contribute to various open-source projects, if time permits. Keeping a comprehensive list would be too time intense but my GitHub profile should be a good starting point. Lately I’ve moved over some repos to Codeberg. I am also contributing to the development of Gitea, Woodpecker CI and have been a core member of the mlr-org between 2017 - 2022.

GPG

I currently have two GPG keys:
