Me
I should have read the text first 😅

Hey thanks for visiting my blog and wanting to get to know me better!

I am an 963726289 seconds (30 years) old developer from Austria.

I started out as a React frontend developer and picked up TypeScript and Svelte/SvelteKit along the way. Today I am employed as a native iOS developer, writing Swift at Untis. My own time goes into Elixir and Phoenix with Ash, which is where most of my curiosity sits right now.

Along the way I collected a fairly wide base: servers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, React Native, PHP and Laravel. T-shaped rather than jack of all trades, I like to think: broad across a lot of ground, with the deep stroke of the T in native iOS at work and in Elixir and Phoenix on my own time.

I self-host what I can and like owning the servers my things run on. A homelab at home takes care of the services I use day to day, and anything public goes on a dedicated server or a VPS when it matters. Plenty still ends up on Vercel or Cloudflare though, because free is hard to argue with.

I started this blog in early 2020 and published my very first blog post on January 7th. Since then I have written 19 articles, though the last couple of years have been quiet. I am trying to change that.

Besides coding I like to play video games and listening to music. If I like a song, I sometimes learn to play it on my guitar. On rainy days (or even sunny ones haha) I also like watching movies and TV shows on Netflix.
