From Network Management to Coding Enthusiasm: A Personal Story

Hello world! I'm a system administrator from Herne, Germany, and I'm excited to share the story of my professional and personal evolution. My life has been a fascinating blend of technology, leadership, creativity, and continuous learning.

Professional Roots: From Sysadmin to Team Leader

After years of navigating the complex world of network infrastructure, I recently took a significant step in my career by being promoted to team leader of our entire infrastructure team. This role has not only challenged me technically but also pushed me to develop leadership skills that go beyond managing networks and servers.

The DJ and the Developer: Balancing Passions

For over two decades, I've been a hobby DJa passion that has taught me as much about rhythm and creativity as my technical work has taught me about precision and problem-solving. Music has always been more than just a hobby; it's been a way to express myself and connect with others.

I like all kinds of music, but as a DJ, I'm really into Deep House and Dub Techno. I love the calm aspect of this music and how it reveals two different characters depending on the volume it's played at.

I have played on several web radio stations, including HouseTime.FM, RauteMusik House, and electrosound.tv. I've also performed at many gigs, most recently at Ruhr in Love.

Returning to Web Development: A Personal Challenge

Now, I'm embarking on an exciting new journey: learning front-end development from the ground up. Unlike my previous experiences with websites where I relied on templates or WordPress, I'm taking a deliberate, structured approach. I'm currently working through comprehensive courses on Scrimba and The Odin Project, determined to understand every line of code I write.

More Than Just Code: A Holistic Blog

This blog won't just be about coding. While I'll share my technical learnings and development progress, I also want to create a space that reflects my broader interests. Expect insights into the tech world, personal reflections on my learning journey, and occasional reviews and thoughts on movies and series that capture my imagination.

Why Share?

My goal is simple: to document my growth, connect with like-minded individuals, and create a platform where technology, creativity, and personal development intersect. Whether you're a fellow developer, a tech enthusiast, a movie buff, or someone curious about career transitions, I hope you'll find something valuable here.

From managing complex network infrastructures to spinning tracks as a DJ, and now diving into web development, my life has been about continuous learning and embracing new challenges. Join me as I navigate this exciting path of personal and professional growth.

Let's code, explore, and learn together!
