Hi, my name is `Laura Kalb` and I (literally) do things on the internet.

## About me
I'm a network engineer, with a pretty mixed technical background. I started my career in software development, and then
moved on to be a sysadmin with main emphasis on linux environments. Afterwards, I was a mix of network engineer and site
reliability engineer. Now I'm responsible for the network infrastructure at a big datacenter provider. Currently I'm 
primarily working on network automation and our internal network infrastructure, and I'm playing a lot with the Golang
programming language =).

You can find a list of projects that I've already worked on [in my Portfolio](/portfolio).


## Some nice stuff
A list of **tools**, **projects** and **fun stuff** that I already 
have worked on or that I want to work on in the future:

## Books
I always loved to read as many books as I can. So here I'm listing the books I've read since I
started this webpage, including a rating and short description. These are the last few books 
I've rated:
