Hej again. 👋 My name is Kris and I’m the guy with that cool domain name.

I've been working professionally in the software industry since completing my Bachelor of Engineering degree back in 2012. Over the years, I've primarily worked as a freelancer for web and software development, as well as at companies like TipTap (formerly known as überdosis) and IU Group. Since 2024, I'm a part of Sozialheld:innen e.V., where I help address social issues with technology and fight for a more inclusive world.

When I'm not working, you can find me filming and editing short videos , going for cycling or hiking trips, spending time outdoors, and tinkering with my home network and server. I have a passion for birds, science, open-source projects, self-hosting, and Indie/HC-Punk music.

In addition to my full-time role, I occasionally take on freelance jobs in design, video production, or coding. I also have an extensive network of skilled freelancers and agencies at my disposal, so feel free to reach out if you need someone with expertise in these areas!
