Enthusiastic Product Manager for CTRL-OS, working at Cyberus Technology GmbH.
I use Nix and NixOS on multiple devices at home and at work.
In my former role as senior software engineer I worked on virtualisation technology, starting from little self written operating system kernels up to KVM and several Virtual Machine Monitor backends for microkernels and also for Linux KVM.
Now, I'm bridging the gap between engineering and business development to bring NixOS into the commercial sector.
