What I'm looking for

Since Childhood day, I'm interested in varies technologies, and got in Contact with Computers very early. Unfortunately I don't get the opportunity to start a apprenticeship straight after school. So I started a Voluntary year and after that I started studding Computer science at the College of Wismar.
But shortly after I got a Opportunity to start a apprenticeship in IT sience at the Company Securepoint GmbH. Here I got a first impression with the Tool SaltStack.
After some years after my apprenticeship and classic IT administration, I got the opportunity at Seeding-Alliance GmbH to restructure their entire IT-system at the Google Cloud. So I Setup a Configuration Management system with SaltStack from scratch. So I got very good knowledge about Structuring IT-Systems, SaltStack and IT Automatisation.
I also use these knowledge for my private Cloudserver, witch I continuously develop since my Apprenticeship and here I try out an test new things.
As a result of that, I have also advanced into DevOps and applied also the Infrastructure as Code concept and currently working with Kubernetes and Terraform.
So I currently testing best practice strategies for this.
