DevOps & AI engineer based in Berlin.
I build reliable infrastructure, useful products and occasionally typefaces.

A contemporary sans-serif for interfaces, brands and editorial typography.
Four weights, Latin character support, manually drawn and hinted, released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Notes from the intersection of infrastructure, AI, product engineering and things going unexpectedly wrong.
An analysis of 24,560 pull requests across 447 repositories.
AI-authored pull requests fail CI 19.4% more often—but only below 55 changed lines. Above that threshold, the gap closes, which is the opposite of what many people assume.
One main.tf file with 1,847 lines. No modules. No remote state.
A breakdown of what these patterns cost and how to untangle them without rewriting everything from scratch.
Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, containerized workloads and pragmatic deployment platforms.
Agent pipelines, model routing, evaluation harnesses and the infrastructure required to operate them reliably.
