Mike Fox · Apprentice IT Administrator & DevOps · Munich, Germany

I'm Mike — currently in my IT apprenticeship at MaibornWolff in Munich. My day job sits at the intersection of infrastructure and development: keeping Kubernetes clusters healthy, setting up CI/CD pipelines that deploy code without drama, and watching Grafana dashboards so nobody else has to.

I love infrastructure, but AI is the other half of what gets me excited. I spend a lot of my time building with LLMs — agents, CLI tools, self-hosted chat setups, automations that wire models into real workflows — and figuring out how to run all of that on infrastructure I control.

Outside the office I build small apps and CLIs — things like fuel-price dashboards and automation scripts — mostly because I find it more satisfying to run something in production than to describe it on a slide deck. I use Next.js and TypeScript for web stuff, Swift when I want something native, and whatever shell glue gets the job done for everything else.

I care about systems that are easy to understand, easy to hand off, and hard to break accidentally. Reliable, boring in the best way, and pleasant to keep running.
