I'm a Lead Platform Architect at Brella, based in Finland. I work on infrastructure, backend systems, and occasionally hunt for security bugs.

My main open source project is hetzner-k3s - a CLI tool that creates production-ready Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner Cloud in minutes.

Running Kubernetes doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. With hetzner-k3s, you can spin up a fully configured, highly available cluster for a fraction of what you'd pay on AWS, GCP, or Azure - sometimes up to 80% less.

A few things it does:

• Creates a 3-master, 3-worker HA cluster in 2–3 minutes
• Handles autoscaling, private networking, firewalls, and storage automatically
• Works across Hetzner's six global locations (Germany, Finland, USA, Singapore)
• Scales to 500+ nodes (tested and proven)

No Terraform. No management cluster. Just one CLI tool and a simple YAML config.

• Startups and small teams who want Kubernetes without the cloud bill
• Developers running side projects or homelab clusters
• Companies looking to cut infrastructure costs without sacrificing reliability

I maintain hetzner-k3s in my spare time. If it saves you time or money, consider supporting its development:

Sponsorship helps me dedicate more time to new features, faster issue responses, and keeping the project up to date with Hetzner and k3s releases.
