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 and have been a member of the mlr-org for some years.

I have a Twitter account but have been using it infrequently since the Musk era.
