About me

I’m Killian. On most days, I help companies grow as a Software Engineer specializing in rapidly growing web platforms. I also dabble in DevEx tooling, data engineering, game development and a fair few other software-related projects.

On a daily basis, I…

• Write code in Python, Javascript & Golang. If needed, I’m familiar with Rust & C++, learning other languages as necessary. 🧑‍💻
• Develop for the web with FastAPI, Vue, Astro, Go, PostgreSQL & Redis. 🌐
• Provision infrastructure using Terraform, cloud-init & good old shell. 🏗️
• Deploy applications with Docker, Kubernetes & serverless. 🚀
• Secure platforms using industry-standard practices of defense-in-depth & proactive pentesting. 👮

Bit-wrangling has been a (healthy) obsession ever since little me found a C++ tutorial online. I love building things and no other medium offers a tight feedback loop like software.

Aside from being a professional nerd, I like motorcycling, snowboarding & sailing. I hope to also include paragliding and/or delta-flying here at some point.
