// What are you doing right now?

How should multiple physical agents coordinate to autonomously accomplish one common mission? Imagine multiple space probes exploring space, light years away, without human reach. Right now, I am especially interested in the communication layer required in a cluster of devices.

// Who are you?

I have five years of experience in AI & Data consulting with two major professional service vendors. I worked with many large companies building and deploying domain specific statistical models and integrated data intensive applications under technical and business constraints. I have been very active on technical ends as an individual contributor and business functions leaning into PO and PMO responsibilities. As it comes with consulting, I have significant sales experience. I am a trained computational economist with a masters degree from the University of Münster, Germany.

// What can I find on your page?

I share currents, things that I currently work on or spent time with. Notes that I call pointer where I sometimes summarize gotchas but mostly point to resources that help(ed) me study a topic. Some thoughts which are essentially blog posts written with more or less care. Finally, my basin where I share anything else for whatever reason (also no reason in some cases).

If you find something that resonates with you, get in touch.

Currents

Open Source

Apache Iggy

A Rust based message streaming solution. It is fairly young, pre 1.0 release but super fast in churning out new features. It's trajectory points clearly upwards in terms of achieved performance and adoption. If you are interested in message streaming, high-performance environments and Rust, have a look.


Pointer

Distributed Systems

Getting started with Raft using miniraft

If you know Rust and are interested in the Raft algorithm have a look. This article covers Raft, consensus basics and introduces miniraft a Rust based Raft implementation. It takes you on a journey through the Raft engine as a starting point to dig deeper into Raft specifics.


Thoughts

Personal

Reflections on consulting

I reflect on the business of consulting firms and two common observations people confronted me with: (1) you must work a lot and (2) consultancies optimize for billing hours instead of delivering value. I try to build an argument why (2) cannot happen and (1) is a consequence of that.


Basin

Music

A portal to the dark side of life. Expressed by bands that make no compromises.

Music

Berlin's basements are calling. Collection of mostly hard techno.
