Hi, I’m Nico,





About Me

Hi, I'm Nico Kempe — currently 21 years old. While I started my journey in backend development, my professional focus today lies in modern infrastructure, IT security, and frontend development.
I’m passionate about fully automating IT infrastructure using tools like Docker Swarm, GitHub Actions, and the HashiCorp stack — Terraform, Vault, and Packer. My aim is to build scalable, secure, and self-managing platforms with zero-touch automation.
My tech stack spans modern frontend frameworks (Vue, Nuxt, TailwindCSS), and secure cloud-native infrastructure using GitOps and infrastructure-as-code principles. I care deeply about clean code, strong typing, and seamless developer experience.
In my free time, I enjoy long night walks and exploring different places — it's when I disconnect, think, and recharge. I'm also a big fan of documentaries, especially historical ones, often watching Arte documentaries while programming.
Music is always present in my daily life. You can discover what I’m currently into on my Spotify playlists.
