It all started for the hack value of it, long before it became a job. Over the years I moved from IT administrator to medical informatics. Linux and Unix have stayed the constant that pretty much everything else is built on. Today I lead the Infrastructure work area at the [Data Integration Center of the Jena University Hospital](https://www.uniklinikum-jena.de/gbit/en/IT+Department/Data+Integration+Center.html), as part of the [Medical Informatics Initiative](https://www.medizininformatik-initiative.de/en) and the [Network of University Medicine](https://www.netzwerk-universitaetsmedizin.de/en). In between came a master's degree in Medical Informatics, which is why I usually sit at the intersection of systems administration, software development, and clinical data standards. Day to day I work a lot with FHIR and HL7v2, mostly in Python, with Kafka and PostgreSQL in the background.

At home I run a small homelab: a few Proxmox nodes, Ceph storage, my own PKI. If something's missing, a 3D printer and a bit of electronics usually help out. And when no server is on fire, you might also find me in the garden.

This site is a mix of both: technical how-tos and notes from work and homelab.
