# Hey!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am Sascha. Unfortunately, I've made a plan for today to write something about myself 😱. Maybe I should start at the beginning:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I started with computers a long time ago, which may be because I am not the youngest anymore. As a teenager, I longed for a C64 nothing else. Essentially, I just wanted to be able to play games and have fun with it. My parents thought such a computer should be useful for school. They sought advice and bought me a sinfully expensive 286er with 640KB RAM.
|
||
|
|
So there I was. No games, no idea, and MS-DOS version 5 or something. How disappointing 😣.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I tinkered a lot, tried a lot out and learnt an incredible amount, even though I couldn't play as intended. At some point, I took a computer science course at school and later chose it as a subject. There we actually dealt with really interesting stuff. Most of the time we programmed with Turbo Pascal. It was mega interesting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Still, after school I decided to go a different way initially. I chose graphic design, and then ended up in the print industry as a specialist for prepress, workflow automation and especially color management.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During all this time, I always dealt with computers and new technologies. Simply because it was super interesting 😎.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I met my wife, I had to settle down. She assimilated me into her company, where I am still working and supporting. Of course, I do everything that has to do with technology, automation, etc. However, I have now handed over the topic of color management and printing machine calibration to the trusting hands of our graphic designers 😁.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Today, in addition to jointly managing the company with my wife, I am primarily responsible for technology and automation in our company.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## We use the following technologies:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NixOS - if Linux, then declarative
|
||
|
|
* Docker / Podman - can't do without containers these days
|
||
|
|
* Shopify - simple and powerful and if you use the API you can do almost anything with it
|
||
|
|
* n8n - you're at fault if you don't automate
|
||
|
|
* Baserow - Excel just doesn't cut it
|
||
|
|
* Metabase - KPIs done right
|
||
|
|
* ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## And what else?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* I program almost every day
|
||
|
|
* I run approximately 14.9 miles in a week
|
||
|
|
* 2-3 days per week / 1 hour of HIIT training is a must
|
||
|
|
* I love to game (of course on Linux) and the best part is my wife does too 🥰
|
||
|
|
* I follow the Paleo diet
|
||
|
|
* I ride a motorcycle and love my Ducati, her name is Polly 😘
|
||
|
|
* I use Linux, because I value autonomy and privacy 😜
