As a trained IT specialist for system integration, I'm passionate about self-hosting, privacy and digital sovereignty. I believe everyone should be in control of their own data, and open standards and your own infrastructure let you take that control back without giving up modern technology.
I build websites, explore new technologies and take photos of my family. Whatever I learn along the way ends up in my blog.

Open source software is the foundation of my work. That is why I contribute myself and maintain the following projects.
Jellyfin plugin that shows your entire library as one sortable, filterable table, from a whole series down to a single episode.
Lightweight Docker image that runs WireGuard as a server or client, configured through environment variables.
AV1 encoding service with plenty of extra features such as HDR support and target quality, configured through TOML files.
Home Assistant integration with full CalDAV support, including recurring events, reminders and to-do lists.
How the features of my CalDAV integration make their way into Home Assistant itself, step by step.
Attribute-based occ commands, a typed query builder, database diagnostics in occ and a Redis client that needs no PHP extension.
