// about me

Who I am

Hey, I'm Marvin - a Software Engineer based in Germany with 10+ years of experience and a passion for building robust, scalable and well-architected software.

I specialize in Kotlin and Spring Boot, love working with Kubernetes and enjoy thinking deeply about software architecture. Clean code and pragmatic engineering decisions are what I'm all about.

When I'm not coding professionally, I'm tinkering with my homelab - running a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster, TrueNAS and various self-hosted services. Because why have one computer when you can have a rack?
