+ +{{< icon "calendar-plus" >}} **2019**   Internal Self Service Portal + +I spent the second half of the year creating a single-page application based on [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) for +visualizing product changelog and configuration details.

Unfortunately it's closed source, so I can't talk about details. But to give a glimpse at the +underlining technologies I can notice they were based on **Microsoft**, **VMware** and **Citrix** products. + +{{< icon "calendar-plus" >}} **2014**   As the automation team got bigger and bigger, we needed to +define standards. That's why I began using [Phabricator](https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/) as a developer +framework in combination with [Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) to build our modules. This enabled us doing code +review, lint tests,unit test and building our own CI Environment. + +{{< icon "calendar-plus" >}} **2013**   I joined into a new team which was building our new cloud +infrastructure. We purposed to offer our customers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and EaaS services. My focus shifted +to automation and cloud orchestration. Back then I started using Powershell. + +{{< icon "calendar-plus" >}} **2012**   I needed to get away from those wacky enterprise applications +which were used in the public sector. So I took the chance to work in much bigger datacenter at +[KIVBF](https://www.kivbf.de). There I ran the backup and restore solution called IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). + +It was a great place to get to know such large environment and I finally started automating again. At this time I +implemented the monitoring system [Zabbix](http://www.zabbix.com/). Unfortunately I couldn't find any extension to +monitor out IBM tape library or TSM data itself.
