Hey, I am Jan. I am an IT Project and Technical Application Manager specialized on Output Management und CCM Solutions. I have always been that hands on guy. Since it has not been possible in my business to get in touch with kubernetes I decided to do something on my own. Crunching with BOINC looks reasonable for me here.
