Good evening, Fediverse! I've just migrated from tech.lgbt to my own self hosted GoToSocial instance, and this feels like a great time to do an intro, because I also just turned 32 today!
I'm a #trans and #queer SRE working for a gaming company in Amsterdam (Netherlands), and I enjoy hacking on :k8s: #kubernetes projects in my spare time (I write a lot of #helm charts and :argocd: #argocd apps). I've been in the hosting/platform/devops industry for around 13ish years and I'm still just as in love as I was before, though where I used to focus on Big Tech, I now focus on self-hosting k8s on metal. Ask me about self hosting whatever project you want, and I can probably point you in the right direction!
My main operating systems are MacOS and :debian: #Debian (love #linux dearly). I'm a #bash and #neovim user, but I cut my teeth on vi and later #vim and so those are still dear to my heart. I want to get more into #solarpunk projects in 2025 and I'm big on using #prometheus #homeassistant and #keda to accomplish those goals. I volunteer with #nextcloud (when I can) to help with their helm chart, and I also have a GitHub org called small-hack where I do a lot of FOSS work with @cloudymax! Always down to self host something new :heart_cyber:
My favorite language is #python :python:
Ik spreek A1 Nederlands, maar ik wil A2 binnenkort. Oh, en mijn favoriet kleur is blauw. 💙 Leuk u te ontmoeten!
