Hi there 👋

My name is Florian, and I am a SRE/Platform Engineer from Germany. You’ve landed on my engineering blog, where I write about things I work on and share what I’ve learned.

I love clean solutions but do some hacky things sometimes. I am passionate about Open Source, GNU/Linux, automation, and generally speaking, modern systems operations. Learn more about my background here.

Don't know what to read? Here are some recommendations!
