Profile

I work as a working-student DevOps Engineer & Developer while studying computer science with a focus on IT security. I'm happiest where secure software, cloud infrastructure and a bit of research spirit meet. For my degree's practical project (a 10–12 week mandatory internship) I'm looking for an environment where I can deepen secure software development as well as cloud and container infrastructure in a real product context.
