Software engineering is a career-long journey of committing, learning, optimizing and re-thinking in endless iterations. My journey started in the mid-2000s with embedded C++, meanwhile I've seen large parts of the Java world from traditional ESBs over the Maven heydays to running microservices in all sorts of clouds.I've done lots of product development but I'm a problem-solver at heart, spending most of my time improving operations of (Java) software stacks and digging deep into architecture, code and metrics.My current job is site reliability engineering, mostly in in the K8s/AWS world, but experience is ever-expanding as the journey goes on ...Off the work desk, you probably find me on the (road/gravel) bike or at least learning/watching/shopping something in that beautiful microcosm.(BTW: I'm not as angry as my photo suggests)
