A customer required us to split, with limited down-time, a
single Icinga instance into two independent instances. I wrote scripts (in
Bourne shell) to extract databases for the independent instances from the SQL
and InfluxDB databases of the single instance with no overlap of sensitive data
and no loss of relevant history.

I was sacked – the only time in my life – but was extremely
pleased to leave.

I wrote tools that help the company administrators manage the
infrastructure of the company customers. The tools include a Python script
that warns if an Icinga2 server fails to send a notification; a Go program that
updates the configuration of a Prometheus server if entries with specified
properties in a Consul store change; a Bourne shell script that generates an
availability report from an Icinga2 database; and a Python package that reads
XML documents from an HTTP(S), RabbitMQ or IBM MQ server, converts the
documents to JSON data, and writes the data as active or passive checks to an
Icinga2
REST server.
Linux-Systemadministrator (75% Teilzeit)
Linux System Administrator (75% part-time)
Bebelsbergstr. 31,
D-71088 Holzgerlingen,
Deutschland.
2014-08–2018-12.
I administered the applications (Confluence, Jira, Nexus
and Stash) that the company developers use, and the Linux machines that host
them. I built a continuous-delivery pipeline (with Jenkins, Maven, Puppet and
tools I wrote in Bourne shell, Python and Ruby) in order to write Jira plug-ins
(in Java). I built the compute component of the IaaS layer of a private cloud
(with Alpine Linux, Ansible, KVM/QEMU, libvirt, Packer, PXE and
RancherOS).
Briefzusteller (50% Teilzeit)
Mail carrier (50% part-time)

System Administrator
Universitätsklinikum Tübingen,
Geschäftsbereich Informationstechnologie,

Deutschland.
2013-03–2013-09.
An Oracle RDBMS administrator and I migrated over 20
applications from the Enterprise edition to the Standard edition of the Oracle
RDBMS within a 7 month deadline in order to avoid expensive licensing
fees.
Linux-Systemadministrator (60% Teilzeit)
Linux System Administrator (60% part-time)
NETlution GmbH,
Julius-Hatry-Str. 1,
D-68163 Mannheim,
Deutschland.
2012-02–2013-02.
I worked at the same broadcaster I worked at with Cancom,
and a bank. At the broadcaster, I administered about 250 Linux machines,
provided first-level VMware support, configured Linux machines as Oracle RDBMS
servers, and rewrote the system that transfers time-critical messages (such as
motorway hazards) to the broadcaster. At the bank, I administered about a
dozen Linux machines, wrote Nagios modules and UC4 scripts, and wrote a script
(in bash) to inventorise the Linux stock.
Systemadministrator (60% Teilzeit)
System Administrator (60% part-time)
CANCOM IT Solutions GmbH,
Max-Eyth-Str. 21,
D-72622 Nürtingen,
Deutschland.
2009-07–2012-01.
I worked at a regional radio and television broadcaster. I
commissioned and decommissioned physical and virtual servers for campuses in
Stuttgart, Baden-Baden and Mainz. I reduced the mean commission time of a
server from six weeks to five days by writing a web application (in Java, JDBC
and XSLT) that extracts and presents all of the information concerning server
commissions and decommissions from the broadcaster's work-flow and inventory
databases. I also helped transfer over 150 physical servers to a new server
room on the Stuttgart campus while keeping all “hot” services online.
Java- & JavaScript-Programmierer (16 Monate befristeter Vertrag)
Java & JavaScript Programmer (16 month fixed-term contract)
The Prometheus Project,
Universitätsklinikum Tübingen,
Neuroradiologie,
Hoppe-Seyler-Str. 3,
D-72076 Tübingen,
Deutschland.
2002-09–2003-12.
As part of a fixed-term project to build a medical teaching and
examination tool, I wrote a client/server library (in JavaScript and Java) to
create a "desktop in a browser" that includes a task bar and icon-activated
windows containing text and media that can be restacked, moved, resized,
hidden, restored and closed.
Linux-Systemadministrator & Open-Source-Programmierer (50% Teilzeit)
Linux System Administrator & Open Source Programmer (50% part-time)
„pc-online‟ Computer Handels GmbH,
Lilli-Zapf-Str. 2,
D-72072 Tübingen,
Deutschland.
2000-01–2002-08.
I provided Linux administration services - primarily Amanda
back-up, iptables packet filtering, and Samba file and print
sharing - to several small to medium businesses. I also wrote software for a
few customers, including an application (first in tcsh, later in
Perl) that uses hard links to generate space-efficient yet readily-accessible
time-stamped back-ups of directory trees, and a server-side web application
(first in Perl, then in PHP) that shows a user the nearest stockist of the
customer's product on a zoomable map.
