About me #

I’m a software developer located in Germany/Gießen. My professional career is tightly coupled to the Bosch Thermotechnik GmbH where I currently develop embedded linux gateways.

My opinion about programming is that no one should ever be scared of using new technologies or methods in order to reach a goal. With this approach you will always find yourself in interesting and challenging environments and your work will not be to boring.

I might say that I discovered following areas of software engineering fields quite deep:

• (embedded) linux development
  • kernel configuration
  • distro builders: yocto and buildroot
  • programming languages: c/cpp, lua, rust
  • build systems: make, autoconf, cmake
  • protocols and interfaces: can, modbus, mqtt
  • linux tools: systemd, sysv
  • networking
• virtualization and infrastructure:
  • automatic software setup via ansible
  • ci/cd via docker and k8
  • minimal os like: unraidOS, coreOS
  • hardware virtualization with qemu
• automatic testing:
  • test implementation with general purpose test frameworks: pytest, robotframework
  • hardware in the loop tests
• open source software compliance
• functional programming
• reactive programming
