About
I'm an IT specialist for system integration with a focus on infrastructure automation and building reliable, scalable systems. My day-to-day work revolves around containerization, Infrastructure as Code, and keeping deployment pipelines clean and predictable.
Right now I'm using NixOS to keep configurations reproducible across machines, running and refining a homelab, and contributing to GL-IX to help improve regional connectivity in central Europe.
When I'm not automating infrastructure, I'm digging deeper into Kubernetes, monitoring and observability, and modern web stacks with TypeScript and Next.js. I like understanding how all the layers—from the hardware up to the frontend—fit together and how to make them easier to operate.
