benni@hamburg:~$ cat about.md
DevOps engineer in Hamburg. I spend my days making sure other people's software starts, keeps running, and complains loudly before it stops: containers, pipelines, infrastructure that you can read instead of guess at, and the monitoring that tells us all about it at inconvenient hours. German, mildly obsessed with computers, equally happy gaming or in a terminal.

Any fast food will do. Splash it down with an energy drink and I'm operational. Nutritionists fear me. :)
