During office hours I'm building software and services in the context of large-scale storage systems at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Some of that work is open-source:
- WebDAV server software based on Apache HTTPD for data access and transfer. Most projects are open-sourced at Helmholtz's GitLab.
- Tools supporting system operations:
- lsdf-checksum computes file content checksums to verify integrity.
At other times, I'm playing with technology and tend to over-engineer software to marginally improve my life 😬.
Quite a few topics in the technology space I've been following for some time:
- Data Storage and Processing (Databases, Processing and Analysis Engines, Workflow Systems, Programming Models and Paradigms, ...)
- Deployment and Operations of Software Application (Orchestration Systems, GitOps, Monitoring, ...)
- Distributed Systems (Network Protocols, Distributed System Architecture, Consensus Protocols, CRDTs, CAP, Caching, ...)
- Building Engineering Organisations (Communication, Processes, Culture & Peopleware, Planning, ...)
