Over the time I have experimented with many different pieces of tech. Mostly fascinated by programming itself I have tried many different languages and frameworks. Starting with Java in 2011 and soon after moving to web development I have gone back and forth many times. I extended my knowledge with every step along the way. And I will continue to strive to learn new things and improve my skills.

I learned not only how to code, but also how to deploy it and make it publicly available. Renting servers and managing them myself I learned a lot about server management and the Linux operating system. To this day I manage my own infrastructure and host all my projects on my own servers. From Proxmox as a hypervisor for my virtual machines to OPNSense as a firewall, from Apache2 as a ReverseProxy to all of the NodeJS applications I host. My deep understanding of the underlying technologies helps me to quickly identify and fix problems.

Many say you should not reinvent the wheel. I say, that in doing so you can learn way more than in just using the technologies that are already there. Thats why I often build proof-of-concepts that of course do not go into production. But they help me to understand the underlying technologies and to learn new things. It helps me understand the design decisions that were made and compare similar technologies.

Below you can find a list of technologies I have worked with.
