Physicist. Software engineer.

I love open source, I like collaboration more than competition.

At Mesosphere I worked at the forefront of the containerization ecosystem. I significantly contributed to DC/OS, especially to its security architecture.

Then I joined Opstrace as founding engineer. We built an observability distribution and got acquired by GitLab.

Thank you for that comment, Mike :-) I was looking for that type of response here :-). As expressed many times: thank you for your work.

You have some really nice shots there, even with the rare wild dog!

Jumping on the shameless plug train here -- just a few days ago I decided to finally show some of my photography on Instagram (for those of you that still use it):

I have a deep passion for photography but had so far not put effort into an online presence. Here I intend to publish only the besties from many years of putting myself out there with mostly a fixed focal lens at 135 mm (f/1.8).

Thanks for the reference. Yeah, may also be entirely unrelated.

Via Ukraine war footage I learned that "getting off the X" is an established military idiom (for leaving a dialed-in target area of e.g. artillery). Now it might find a newer even more popular meaning.

The login system of the Bahn app amd website is experiencing issues right now -- wonder if it has to do with HN peak traffic, hm :).

I keep being impressed by this project. Has served me so well over the years, and the depth of the technologies is so exciting. Assembling ffmpeg command line arguments is a meditative exercise, with almost arbitrarily deep research allowed.

Would you mind explaining? :-) I'm okay with potentially looking stupid here and ask for all of us who don't get this pun!

By the way Mike I think https://techspot.zzzeek.org/2015/02/15/asynchronous-python-a... is still one of the best articles on the topic of "python and concurrency". So many important insights for real-world engineering.

Thanks for all your work in the Python ecosystem!
