Writing an introduction text about yourself is an incredibly difficult thing to do. One doesn't want to appear arrogant, but at the same time you want to present yourself as good as possible, while sticking to the truth.

Okay, let's start this over again.

Hi! My name is Arne Beer.

If you would ask me what I like doing most, my answer would probably be something like "Programming cool and useful stuff".

Automation, optimization, neat setups and useful tools always fascinated me. There's something incredibly satisfying in building something, that reduces one's workload or helps optimizing some process. Extra points for daemons and services that just work without any maintenance!

That's probably one of the main reasons why I love open-source. Your own tools and libraries get used and improved by other people, while you get a chance to use and give back yourself. On top of that, it's a great feeling to see your projects being appreciated by like-minded people.

Professionally I work as a software engineer and DevOps guy since more than 5 years, always on web related projects. During that time I learned to really appreciate a good team dynamic. It just makes work much more productive, enjoyable and the quality of each individual's work usually gets a lot better as well. It's something I don't want to miss in the future.

I'm very interested in new technologies! For one, I'm fascinated by Rust and its rapidly developing ecosystem. Professionally working with a Rust tech stack is something that's planned for the near future!

Well, I think that's enough of me for now.

I recommend you to check out my projects on Github. It's probably the best representation of my current interests and capabilities.

Code doesn't lie.
