System Engineer at SWISS TXT
Basel Metropolitan Area Switzerland
Summary
🤩
RockstarGregor Riepl is a systems engineer based in the Basel area with 15 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining infrastructure, firmware, and full-stack software. At SWISS TXT he applies a pragmatic blend of Linux systems knowledge, DevOps practices, and embedded expertise—evident from contributions that span kernel-adjacent fixes, Kubernetes monitoring dashboards, and firmware/driver work for touchscreen controllers. He routinely moves between low-level device compatibility (Silead touchscreen firmware) and higher-level cloud and UI problems, having fixed Java server bugs in Apache CloudStack and improved Ren'Py compatibility with Python 3.12. Gregor’s contributions show an attention to observability and operational clarity—tuning Prometheus/Grafana metrics and documenting API changes—while also shipping small but critical fixes across diverse ecosystems. Colleagues value him for being a practical tinkerer who can bridge hardware quirks and production services without losing sight of maintainability.
