My name is Daniel Heitmann and I’m a generalist Systems Engineer.

I previously worked under the umbrella of several roles such as Linux Systems Administrator, Cloud Engineer, Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Engineering Manager and currently as a Lead DevOps Engineer for a consulting company. I consider myself a pragmatic generalist who cares deeply about people and results.

Vita

Closing in on almost 20 years of experience, I started my career in tech in 2005 when I offered webhosting services for family, friends and local businesses on a personal server. This grew into a small business that I shut down in order to finish a 3 year apprenticeship from 2008 to 2011. Since then I worked for reputable companies such as Uberspace, InVision, trivago and HiveMQ in various capacities.

Passion

Providing reliable web services and building robust automation for complex systems are my core passions. I’m also experienced in leading engineering teams. I pride myself in resolving interpersonal conflicts, discovering talent for various engineering roles and being able to quickly dig into new areas. I deeply care about products that truly deliver value to people.
