I'm René — solo founder in northern Germany, full-stack and platform side.
I build LIVCK: monitoring, incident management and status pages — self-hosted or as cloud. EU-only infrastructure, GDPR-first, no US-cloud dependencies. Been at it since 2020; the cloud edition is in public beta.
Day to day it's PHP/Laravel and Go, a lot of Kubernetes, and lately cross-provider status dependencies and a fair bit of applied cryptography.
