Sebastian Meyer is a Linux consultant and trainer with 12 years of hands-on experience in systems, automation and security, based in the Cologne–Bonn region. He combines a dual academic background in Wirtschaftsinformatik with practical expertise gained at B1 Systems and Bayer Business Services, where he worked on log analysis, authentication interfaces and virtualization. An active advocate of FOSS, he has contributed meaningful fixes and maintainability improvements to ansible-lint—improving playbook autodetection and lint accuracy for real-world edge cases. His skill set spans Linux operations, DevOps automation, IT security and forensics, and he brings a pragmatic teaching style that helps teams adopt robust, auditable practices. Not obviously, his career began in a dual vocational program, which gave him early exposure to both enterprise tooling and applied software development.
