Hi there 👋

My name is Thomas Karmann and I am a systems engineer, currently living in Berlin, Germany.

In the early 2000s I started to get involved with Linux and after school I studied computer science at FAU, majoring in operating systems, computer architecture and virtualization, while working as a system administrator for the CS department. After graduating I started working in the IT industry doing:

  • 🧯 IT Operations and Site Reliability Engineering
  • ⚙️ Systems engineering for Linux and UNIX datacenter environments
  • ☁️ Cloud engineering for AWS environments

I currently work for @idealo on observability topics.

My skillset covers multiple domains:

  • Platform Engineering and Infrastructure as Code

    • Fluid in all major configuration systems and IaC ecosystems like CFEngine, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, HCL, AWS CDK, Helm, kustomize, boto
    • From building IaC libraries and templates to fully managed platforms
    • Kubernetes (bare-metal, Rancher, EKS) architecture, configuration and optimization, building integrations
    • Code and Deployment Pipelines using GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins
    • Testing and validating infrastructure components using assertions, snapshot- and integration tests with AWS CDK and terratest

  • Observability Engineering (Monitoring, Logging, Alerting)

    • Prometheus, Prometheus Federations, VictoriaMetrics and Grafana for scraping, aggregating, storing and visualizing large amounts of system and application metrics in distributed systems
    • Logstash, Vector and Elasticsearch/Opensearch for collecting, aggregating, storing, querying and visualizing large amounts of system- and application logs in distributed systems
    • Nagios, Icinga, Munin for legacy environments

  • Softwaredevelopment using C/C++, Python, Java and Typescript

    • For ISPs building large-scale provisioning flows for CPEs and routers using CWMP/TR-69 and SSH/netmiko
    • For IXPs building monitoring components like prometheus exporters
    • For Webshops using Zope, Flask, FastAPI, Nodejs, Typescript

If I touch computers in my free time I am busy with:

  • Creating and recording music using DAWs, instruments and controllers (soundcloud)
  • Learning to build DSP and audio software, plugins
  • DIY projects, home automation, microcontrollers
