About me

Hi!

My name is Philipp Knoechel and I’m a software engineer and hobby photographer based in Dresden, Germany. On this site, I write articles about technology and software development.

In my professional role at tracetronic, I am part of a platform team that uses cloud technologies to develop and enhance our products. My expertise is primarily in the Kubernetes ecosystem and cloud-native development.

Outside of work, I love using my camera to document family life and our various activities.
