My photograph

I’m a Principal Software Engineer based in Germany with more than a decade of experience, ranging from binary protocols and device communication to high-scale front-end applications and back-end services. Although I’ve worked on user interfaces in the past, I found my passion in building complex distributed systems.

Outside of work, I train for endurance sports, go on adventures, produce music, and take photos.

You can reach me via email denis@rdner.de or Signal Messenger.

Open Source #

I’m a firm believer in open source. I’ve created and maintained a relatively large open source project, and I’m currently working on open source as part of my daily job.

  • Elastic Agent — With Elastic Agent you can collect all forms of data from anywhere with a single unified agent per host. I’m a member of the maintaing team.
  • Beats — The lightweight shippers of the Elastic Stack. I’m actively contributing as a member of the maintaining team.
  • Catberry.js — isomorphic framework for building universal front-end apps using components, Flux architecture and progressive rendering. Also, lots of plugins and libraries in the related GitHub organization. I started it in 2014, used it at work but currently the project is no longer maintained.
