Hi there! My name is Franz. I’m a Software Engineer from Germany - and this is my tiny website.

Bio

I finished my master’s degree in computer science at TH Rosenheim.

For a living, I work as a Software Engineer at QAware in Munich. When talking to me, you might notice my inner IT security enthusiast. I’m also concerned about privacy and data protection.

Other skills involve operating Kubernetes Clusters or using Kali Linux for penetration testing.

I love giving talks about various topics regarding my profession. I’m discussing random thoughts about computer science, programming, security etc. in my blog.

On a completely unrelated note, I have a soft spot for photography.

Skills

These are some things I know (at least a little). Obviously, there's even more I don't know anything about...

Software Engineering

I work with various things like Java EE and Payara Server. Because today everything runs in the cloud, I’m familiar with Docker and OpenShift / Kubernetes.

Linux

Experience in setting up, running and securing Linux servers, git, writing bash scripts and pentesting. Developed apps for Android in Java and web apps with PHP and node.js.

Photography

I just love taking photos of various things or shooting portraits of people. You can check out my gallery on this website.

Other

Instructor proficiency certificate (AdA), held several tutorials for programming lectures at university and introduced a group of new students to university as part of the “study start program”.

Showcase projects

This is a short collection of projects I maintain. Enjoy!
