Anything problematic excites me, smooth sailing just sounds boring. This is why I enjoy speeding up processes by finding or creating the right tools for the job.
Writing APIs and web platforms
Using SaltStack and other tools to maintain the cattle
Setting up and maintaining CI for everyone
I have been serving in the Homebrew PLC since 2020, making sure the membership is happy and can do what they want to do. And after 4 years I have handed over the responsibility to new members.

These are the things I worked on that make me proud. Some of it is personal and some of it is paid, but all of it is exciting.
Starting in 2019, the Move team has been working on a complete rework of their mobile application and I've been glad to be part of it. With bi-monthly local meetings that quickly turned into many virtual meetings, we've truly delivered a result that we can be proud of.
Over the past few years I've made numerous contributions to the nextcloud projects RSS reader app. As an avid user I've implemented security fixes and under-the-hood improvements I thought were important for my continued usage. This is in my eyes how open-source should be done, everyone scratching their own itch.
Made an Apiblueprint renderer in PHP based on the drafter tool by apiary. All of the existing tools were missing something so I wrote my own version. This has been used by Move to replace the old docbooks since it's inception with very positive responses from both api consumers and writers.
