Hi Lucius

Hi everyone

I joined the Nunki team in July as DevOps Engineer and already feel welcome. At Nunki I will support their AppOps efforts and help improve AppFlow.

My first job as Software Engineer was for schulNetz. After a quick break in Cameroon where I taught a PHP course at LinuxFriends (The site was put together by themselves after some hours of HTML4).
I continued as Software Engineer at Supercomputing Systems.
There, I retrofitted ticket vending machines for public transport and was involved in all stacks, from the provisioning of the vending machines over the Java application selling the tickets to the backend services. When we moved some parts over to Kubernetes, my previous knowhow from eCamp came handy.

My first steps with Kubernetes were with eCamp https://www.ecamp3.ch/en/, an open source platform to plan camps for boy and girl scouts, Jubla and other youth organsiations. Here I can live the developers dream: a good CI pipeline allows automated dependency updates with renovate, feature branch deployments simplify review and testing, and the deployment to prod is also mostly automated.

That’s more or less what’s left of my boy scout career. Once a week I am at my Judo club first lecturing a children’s training and then training myself in the evening. I am also always available for a board or card game.

I am eager to learn even more and help VSHN succeed.
Lucius
