Hi, my name is Ben.

Picture of me

After graduating in Information Systems Research (a.k.a. Business Informatics) I joined a small Open Source vendor responsible for i-doit. As a software engineer I've been hacking on Web applications for ~3 years there, after that as an IT consultant specialized on ITSM and information security for ~5 years, and now as a product owner and automation testing specialist for over a year.

My professional focus is on DevOps with Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), sustainable IT, information security, Web services, and the combination of all of them.

Professional skills

PHP since 2005 GNU/Linux since 2009 Bash since 2010
APIs RESTful architectures Continuous integration Continuous delivery Unit testing Technical consulting Product management Information security Privacy by default IT service management Technical documentation Configuration management databases (CMDB) IT asset management (ITAM)
Docker Ansible Kubernetes HTML JavaScript CSS Apache Web server MariaDB/MySQL DBMS server LaTeX Markdown
