Hi, I'm Kilian!
I am:
- DevOps Engineer TelCo / SimCards @telekom
- Backend / Infrastructure Admin @GlobalBases.com GmbH
- Chairman @FabLab Ansbach
- Certified things breaker at all of the above.
Kubernetes: Helm, FluxCD, SOPS, Service Mesh / Istio
Automation: Ansible, Chef Infra
Development: GoLang, Python, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenCode
Monitoring / Analytics: Elastic/Kibana (ELK Stack), Prometheus + Grafana, Icinga2
I run and experiment with a homelab, including Linux servers, containers, storage, networking and Wi-Fi infrastructure. I'm interested in understanding how things actually work rather than just consuming them as black boxes.
I also spend time with 3D printing, laser engraving, electronics and making things, and generally enjoy projects where software meets physical hardware.
- Automation over repetitive manual work
- Reproducibility over tribal knowledge
- Open source over unnecessary vendor lock-in
- Security as part of the design, not an afterthought
- Infrastructure that can be understood and maintained
- Learning by actually building things
- Human Rights, Democracy and standing up against fascism
