Hi, I'm Steven 👋 · @sammy8806

📍 Bremen, Germany · 🧱 SRE & Platform Engineer · 📡 self-hoster

I build and run reliable infrastructure end to end — observability, IaC, and platform tooling — and self-host most of it. Off the clock I write software for live-audio gear.

Working at CONTACT Software — Lot's of clusters, internal tooling, interesting projects

Go Java Python TypeScript OpenTofu Tailscale Prometheus Loki React Expo Claude Codex Cursor T3 Code Hermes Agent

🚀 Current Projects

🎚️ Live audio

  • service-starter — system-tray app that auto-discovers local projects, monitors ports, and tracks dependency health. Electron · React · TypeScript

🎵 Full-stack

  • BandAI — full-stack band-management platform: members, songs, rehearsals, setlists, shows. Spring Boot · React · PostgreSQL · commercial · private
  • MaybeBuchhaltung — workflow-based accounting software: document import, OCR, tax classification, transaction mapping, invoice tracking, statistics, vehicle and contract tracking, and receipt generation. Python · FastAPI · React · TypeScript · SQLite · semi-commercial · private
