Linux Sysadmin & Python + Bash DevOps Expert - Let me automate your Task in less than 24h!
I am Benedikt, a software engineer and open-source enthusiast residing in Austria. With decades of coding experience under my belt, I specialize in DevOps and Linux system administration, and have a passion for open-source and blockchain technologies.
My professional journey began at s IT Solutions AT GmbH where I served as an IT Trainee and Software Engineer from 2007 to 2011, and again from 2016 to 2017. During this time, I honed my skills in various areas of software development. One of my notable achievements was developing a mobile app for audio signal processing, which I built using the cross-platform library Kivy (Python). The application's continuous integration was ensured by a one-click build & deploy pipeline using Docker. A MySQL back end synchronized the app's database to create a rich data pool for business development and Big Data analysis.
In 2014, I took on a role as a Signal Processing App Software Architect and Engineer, DevOps, where I was responsible for the development of a robust client-server application. The architecture and design of this application allowed for scalability, supporting the growth and expansion of the Spaxels project. This experience further demonstrated my expertise in developing complex client-server applications, integrating 3D modeling tools with backend services, and ensuring secure data management practices.
In 2018, I was presented with an opportunity to work on a web-based CRM/ERP application for a client that operates a painting and coating business. My responsibilities included the conception and development of this application using Python Django. I redesigned and rebuilt the entire IT system, developing modules to manage employees, absences, customers, projects, carpool, time-management, and various business reports. Utilizing MySQL as the database and Docker for both development and production environments, I implemented a dockerized system with an Nginx reverse proxy and automated LetsEncrypt SSL certificate handling for enhanced performance and security. This project showcased my expertise in DevOps, Linux system administration, and software development.
Aside from my professional pursuits, I am a dedicated father of two and an autodidact. My values are rooted in efficiency, cost-effectiveness, trustworthiness, and the supportive community that open-source software provides. In my free time, I enjoy bouldering, which requires mental focus, physical strength, and problem-solving skills - qualities that also translate well to my work in software engineering.
