Hi, I'm Steven 👋 · @sammy8806

📍 Bremen, Germany · 🧱 SRE & Platform Engineer · 📡 self-hoster

I build and run reliable infrastructure end to end — observability, IaC, and platform tooling — and self-host most of it. Off the clock I write software for live-audio gear.

Working at CONTACT Software — Lot's of clusters, internal tooling, interesting projects
