Kubernetes, Cilium, zero-trust networking. I build infrastructure that watches itself. Master's thesis on Cilium network security & the OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten.
Over a decade in IT, now focused on infrastructure and operations. As Head of DevOps at Pixelpoint, I run hybrid architectures that bridge on-premise and cloud infrastructure — Kubernetes, Cilium, and a monitoring stack that catches problems before they become incidents.
My standard: systems that run without me. Automation is not an end in itself — it creates space for what actually matters: stable, secure, comprehensible architecture.
I believe in open source, redundancy through simplicity, and that a well-built dashboard is worth more than a hundred Slack messages.
Hybrid on-premise and cloud infrastructure. Central observability with Grafana, Prometheus, Loki. Security, automation, TYPO3 hosting.
Working student. Cloud security, Linux infrastructure, network hardening.
Part-time. Teaching IT fundamentals and Windows administration.
EDV-Kaufmann at STRABAG Bau-, Rechen- und Verwaltungszentrum.
Master's thesis on Kubernetes network security with Cilium & eBPF. OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten, zero-trust networking, Tetragon, Hubble.
Linux, Windows, IT didactics.
See it before it fails. Persistent network observability, dashboards, alerting.
Orchestration at every layer. From cluster bootstrapping to network policy.
Zero-trust networking, microsegmentation, transparent encryption. Defense in depth.
The layer everything else runs on. Bare metal, VMs, cloud.
Harden, detect, respond. GDPR-aware infrastructure from day one.
Manual is yesterday. CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure as code.
No solution without understanding the problem. I ask until the core is clear.
Complexity is the enemy of stability. Fewer moving parts, more reliability.
If you're not measuring, you're guessing. Dashboards and alerts aren't luxury — they're the foundation.
Not everything that can be automated should be. But the right things make all the difference.
Generates Cilium network policies from Hubble flows. Automatic policy baseline from observed traffic — built as part of the master's thesis.
Extend Helm charts with Cilium network policy capabilities. Policies as part of the deployment process.
Test repository for the thesis. Cilium, eBPF, Tetragon, Hubble, Splunk, OpenTelemetry integration.
