In the last 10+ years I've moved from data-warehouse administration into DevOps and cloud-native engineering - today I consult teams with FullStackS, having worked with 30+ customers across Europe on Kubernetes platforms, automation, and software supply-chain & runtime security.
I'm a CNCF Ambassador and Kubestronaut, organize the Austrian Cloud Native Days and the Cloud Native Graz community, speak across Europe, and lecture on cloud-native technologies at two Austrian universities of applied sciences.
I'm based near Graz, Austria.
