About

I am a backend and infrastructure engineer based in Germany.

Current focus

Building a platform for ground truth configurations and drift management across a fleet of production robots. This project is being designed and built from the ground up.

That means owning every layer of the system. It forces me to think ahead and see how design decisions play out in production, rejoice at what survives and deal with what breaks when real hardware is involved.

This also means working across the stack:

Python ROS2 Spring Boot / Kotlin CI/CD Linux packaging Azure Infrastructure Ansible PostgreSQL

Most of what I learn comes from creating real software to real robots. This site is a notebook for those lessons: distributed systems, infrastructure automation, Linux runtime engineering, and the architecture tradeoffs that matter when your code runs on a fleet.
