Hi, I am Pat 👋️

I enjoy workflows, automation, data, and tools, and I love helping others on their IT journey. Maybe also you?

As a DevOps Engineer, System Engineer, and Data Engineer, I wear many hats. Most importantly, I help you solve your IT challenges.

My focus area blends the worlds of Data Science and DevOps. You can find more background information about me below or on the "About" page. I’d be happy to grab a coffee ☕ in person (if you’re in 🇨🇭️) or meet virtually!

Philosophy

I am "team progressive." I believe that everything gets a little better every day—or in tech terms, with every update. This is why I strive to run and deploy the latest versions of tools as they become available.

Tools

The selection of apps is crucial for anyone working in IT to maintain productivity. The right tools can also make work enjoyable again and unlock untapped potential. I regularly reassess my core tools and remain open to change.

Skills

I have a diverse background in data science, machine learning, devops and system engineering/administration. These fields frequently overlap in today’s IT tasks. Being able to integrate them enables me to solve complex challenges.

Open-Source Work

Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) projects are essential building blocks for almost any IT stack. I have been contributing to FOSS projects for a long time and strongly believe in the power of the community. My  GitHub and  Codeberg profiles provide a good overview of my recent and past activities. My current main contributions include:

Blog

From time to time, I write about IT-related findings and solutions on my personal blog at pat-s.me.
