## About

```text
On Deutsche Telekom rollout projects across southern Germany, I installed and terminated fiber links, carried out splicing, and verified routes with OTDR and attenuation measurements. I also documented as-built routes and measurement records for client acceptance.

When runs failed acceptance, I reworked them. I coordinated access with building managers and residents in multi-dwelling units, where schedules and the number of people involved made delivery challenging.

From 2018 to 2021, I founded and ran a fiber-optic cabling company while studying at university. I handled pricing, quotations, supplier negotiations, crew scheduling, invoicing, and client handover.

Since then, I’ve taught myself the software side of the infrastructure stack. I run and harden my own Debian servers, and have built tooling for changing stack state and rolling back in one command.
