Nicolai Weitkemper is a Linux system administrator and soon-to-be doctoral student who blends nine years of hands-on systems work with formal training in particle physics and data science. He has supported research and teaching environments at TU Dortmund, operated telescopes for MAGIC, and completed a CERN master’s placement, demonstrating comfort across lab-scale infrastructure and scientific computing. As a freelance sysadmin he helps dozens of users migrate to Linux and secure their data, showing a practical focus on usability and privacy outside academia. His academic path—B.Sc. in Physics, an Erasmus Mundus M.Sc. in Advanced Methods in Particle Physics, and data science study in France—gives him strong quantitative and programming foundations. Colleagues describe him as a hobbyist programmer who bridges experiment-driven analysis and robust system administration. He’s based in Soest, Germany, and combines curiosity for fundamental physics with a pragmatic drive to make Linux accessible.
