Eduard is a passionate advocate for open-source technology and is currently embracing upstream collaboration at Porsche AG.

After graduating in mathematics, Eduard was part of a software development team and responsible for the release management of a Linux enterprise distribution. Following his two-year parental leave, during which he orchestrated his twin daughters rather than continuous deployment pipelines, he became the head of digitalization and IT of a medium-sized city in southwestern Germany. From 2021 until 2023, Eduard empowered the Sovereign Cloud Stack community as Open Source Community Manager and enjoyed collaborating with inspiring technology leaders world-wide.
