cat about.txt

Hi, I'm Nils! By day I'm a hybrid cloud network engineer, connecting networks across Azure, GCP and private clouds. My rule: if it's not in Git, it doesn't exist. With Terraform and Ansible, clicking around turns into a commit. After hours I often keep going in my homelab, automating everything that isn't bolted to the rack. And when I'm not at a terminal, you'll find me out with my camera, on my motorcycle or on the padel court.
