I'm a Lead Platform Architect at Brella, based in Finland. I work on infrastructure, backend systems, and occasionally hunt for security bugs.
Outside of the day job, I am the founder of SprintPulse, an AI-powered retrospective tool that helps teams run more effective retros and continuously improve. Building products that solve real problems is something I truly enjoy.
My main open source project is hetzner-k3s - a CLI tool that creates production-ready Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner Cloud in minutes.
Running Kubernetes doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. With hetzner-k3s, you can spin up a fully configured, highly available cluster for a fraction of what you'd pay on AWS, GCP, or Azure - sometimes up to 80% less.
A few things it does:
- Creates a 3-master, 3-worker HA cluster in 2–3 minutes
- Handles autoscaling, private networking, firewalls, and storage automatically
- Works across Hetzner's six global locations (Germany, Finland, USA, Singapore)
- Scales to 500+ nodes (tested and proven)
No Terraform. No management cluster. Just one CLI tool and a simple YAML config.

- Developers running side projects or homelab clusters
- Companies looking to cut infrastructure costs without sacrificing reliability
I maintain hetzner-k3s in my spare time. If it saves you time or money, consider supporting its development:
Sponsorship helps me dedicate more time to new features, faster issue responses, and keeping the project up to date with Hetzner and k3s releases.
