Hi, my name is

Alexander.

I build things. Sometimes they're useful.

I’m a Computer Scientist and Free Software Enthusiast. I’m passionate about Linux and especially NixOS. I manage infrastructure and build personal applications that might be useful for others as well.

About Me

I am a Computer Scientist with a passion for anything FOSS and Linux. I am working on my Master’s in CS from KIT with a focus on networking and IT security. I have worked on multiple Privacy Enhancing Technologies while employed at the chair of practical IT security.

In my free time I like to manage my own fleet of NixOS machines, develop open source software and spend as much time as possible with my loved ones.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Nix
  • Java
  • Kotlin
  • Rust
  • C++
  • Python
