Hi there 👋

I am Jan, a software developer and computer scientist with a focus on distributed databases and distributed systems.

• ⛁ I’m currently working on BBoxDB - a distributed key-bounding-box-value database for multi-dimensional data implemented from scratch.

• 🔭 In addition, I work actively on PostgreSQL Lock Tracer - a tool collection to gain deep insights into PostgreSQL's locking activities and troubleshoot performance-related issues.

• 🌍 You can find more about my and my projects on my website

• ⚡ Fun fact: My first installed Linux Distribution was a SuSE 6.1 (Kernel 2.2.6) in 1999, and my first computer was a Pentium 1 with 100 MHz and 16 MB RAM running Windows 95.
