Adrian Altner

Dresden, SN, Germany

Fascinated by the web since 1997. Self-taught by conviction — I build things for fun and teach myself whatever happens to catch my interest.

Photography is one of my main pursuits. Usually while travelling or on photowalks — street scenes, architecture, and the light that never waits.

Now

Working through a stack of photos from my latest trip to Southeast Asia. In my spare time I'm learning more about container orchestration and self-hosting. Currently reading The Pragmatic Programmer for the second time.

Inspired by nownownow.com. Last updated April 2026.
