About me

I am a software architect with over 12 years of experience in healthcare IT. My journey led me from studying medical informatics through various development activities in the healthcare industry to architecting complex systems at Siemens Healthineers.

As one of the maintainers of the open-source Kubernetes distribution K2s, I bring this experience into the open-source community.
