Who am I?

I am Niklas Arft: a Software Architect, specialized in DevOps and founder at SkelTech GmbH.

For the last years I have been helping teams to optimize their software development processes using continuous delivery pipelines. These increased the quality and delivery speed of their software artifacts. My recipe for success is not only to select and introduce appropiate tools but also to etablish a new way of (agile) thinking. Also I strongly believe that continuous delivery pipelines should be built according to the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid).

I consider myself lucky that I turned my hobby into my job. That is why I am very enthusiastic to learn new tools, concepts and programming languages. Here is sneak pick of tools/programming languages I have used so far:

Build & deployment tools:
Ansible, Atlassian Stack, GitLab, Jenkins, JFrog Artifactory, Maven, Nexus Repository Manager, Terraform

Cloud provider:
Amazon Web Services, Hetzner, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure

Container-, virtualization and orchestration tools:
Docker, Docker Swarm, Docker EE, Red Hat OpenShift, VMWare ESXi/vSphere/Workstation, Vagrant

Middleware solutions:
HCL Connections, IBM WebSphere Application Server, Oracle WebLogic Server, Keycloak, WildFly Application Server

Programming languages and frameworks:
TypeScript, Angular, Vue.js, CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript, JSON, Node.js, XML, Jakarta® EE, Spring Boot, Python, PHP, Bash, SQL
