👋 Hi! How’s it going?
My name is Jan Steffen.
I am from Limburg a.d. Lahn, a small city between Cologne and Frankfurt. From a small village called Lindenholzhausen to be specific.
In 2010 I moved to Hamburg after I had finished studying computer science (B.Sc.) at the University of Applied Sciences Gießen (THM). In Hamburg I continued studying computer science (M.Sc.) at the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg (HAW). In 2020 I’ve moved to Frankfurt am Main. Now being closer to family and friends from my youth.
I am a Certified Kubernetes Administrator working as part of the finleap cloud team at finleap connect GmbH.
In my free time I like to travel, play guitar, singing, producing, skiing and taking photographs (see some pictures on Flickr).
