About me ​

Hi, I'm Nils. I'm a Site Reliability Engineer and Open Source Enthusiast. Here are a few (fun) facts (about me):

  • Although Star Trek is not bad, Star Wars is obviously better
  • I like playing soccer
  • BvB is obviously the best football club in the world
  • I love (building) Open Source Software
  • I use Arch btw.
