Hi, I’m Daniel Hommen — a DevOps Engineer from Bonn, Germany. I design, build, and run cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. Most recently I’ve been operating data space platforms like the Mobility Data Space in production — from the first Terraform plan to day-two operations.
