Hello there! I'm Lars Heimann, a Wirtschaftsinformatik (Business Information Systems) scholar at the University of Münster with a strong academic track record and relevant practical experience. 

Just this past winter, I spent six months studying abroad in Australia at the Griffith University at their Gold Coast campus. There I explored courses in Psychology, Consumer Psychology, and Microeconomics, broadening my understanding of user-centric design and market dynamics.

Currently, I work as a part-time software developer at zeb, a financial services consultancy. Here, I focus on creating secure and efficient infrastructures using technologies like Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes.

Currently, I work as a part-time software developer at zeb, a leading financial services consultancy, where I focus on creating secure and efficient infrastructures using technologies like Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes. My notable projects include:

• Engineering a protocol to efficiently rotate Trust Anchors in a PKI on a Kubernetes Cluster, using Cross-Signed Certificates to enhance uptime

• Developing a Terraform module that auto-generates Root Certificates to improve system startup security

• Authoring Python and Bash scripts to automate GitLab CI/CD pipelines that streamline deployment processes and ensure reliable and consistent updates

Previously, I developed an Email notification system at Best Practice Consulting AG using ABAP to improve communications for the users of an interface framework.

Apart from my academic and professional endeavors, I'm a proud scholarship recipient from the German National Academic Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), representing the top 5% of German students. In my spare time, I lead multi-day horse riding treks and volunteer with the Care and Travel Initiative to bring students and seniors together. As a hobbyist marathon runner, I take part in events across Münster, Dortmund, and Berlin.

I'm always open to new learning experiences and am eager to continue growing in my field. Currently, I am especially keen on learning more about how to utilize the power of the cloud to derive actionable insights from data.
