      I'm a DevOps Engineer based in Vienna, Austria. I am {age_self} years old, and I live with my loving wife and our {age_kid}-year-old son. Professionally, my area of work has shifted from being a pure software developer to building up all our tools needed for automation and GitOps. I am also involved in occasional product development direction planning, software architecture, and onboarding and scheduling new employees. I maintain a deep focus on stable operations for large-scale enterprise systems and specialize in **Single Sign-On (SSO)** implementations, working within **Agile** environments and often leveraging AI-assisted development tools to streamline troubleshooting and coding.

      My fascination with computers started early: from summer programming courses in **Volksschule** (elementary school) and reading **Visual Basic** books as a kid, to learning touch-typing on an **electric typewriter** during **Gymnasium** (grammar school).

      My Linux journey began with years of distro-hopping, eventually leading to **Fedora**, which aligns with my professional focus on **RHEL**. I actively use and contribute to **KDE development**, constantly finding and improving the desktop experience based on what I personally use and need.

      Beyond my professional life, I am a passionate **Homelab** enthusiast managing about 50 containers, and developer of **porturl**—a comprehensive SSO portal featuring a Spring Boot backend, a React Admin web frontend, and an Android application.
