Kevin's Blog

The last month I was on the one side busy for the Transnational European Party Volt as direct candidate. Volt got 0.7 % in the elections, so it doubelt his votes. This are enough votes to receive money from the state and strengthen the party for the next elections. So one strategical goal had been reached.

What I din’t like as a candidate is that for me it felt like you have to play a role and you can’t be as authentic as you would like to be. Sometimes I like to be a comedian, but I don’t like to be an actor – So I recognized that a responsible position in the political business isn’t something for me in the future. Never say never, but chances are low that I will apply for a political mandate again. I still like to be a member at Volt and support on a lower level base.

What I also recognized is that politics at least the way how Volt is doing it, but it isn’t Volt specific, it’s a craft. We had really good candidates on the Berlin list which had been much better qualified for a political position then me. I underestimated what politics means after a political activist break, which took a few years.

What also demotivated me was, that I recognized (sorry for my naivety before), that the “Populus” wants to have populist decisions – Haha. What a surprise! For me as somebody who seems himself as an adventurer, Philosoph and creator which follows common sense, the (more or less) rational argument, who accept contrariness in targets and moral values, it is hard stuff to listen to the bullshit which comes out of the mouths of some people.

I didn’t fulfill my role as candidate not as much as I planed to do and want to say sorry for that.

Agile Coaching

Let’s talk about business. In November’24 I got pulled away from my Scrum Teams due to some Machiavellistic power dynamics. So I decided to leave this customer and search for another duty.

Currently ~ 200 people are applying for one Scrum Master/Agile Coach position and the most of the companies decide for price instead for quality. This leads to environments in which the people don’t really understand what the purpose behind Agile Project Management is and how to apply it.

I’m open for the following positions in the Agile Project Management domain:

• Scrum Master
• Agile Coach
• SAFe Release Train Engineer
• Agile Project Manager
• Kanban Coach
• Agile Master

Check out www.agile-coach.world to get more information about my services and solutions in this field.

I enjoyed working as an Agile Coach and Scrum Master, but I have the feeling that the market crashed and the cost focused employment policy to a decrease in quality of agility.

So this bad market situations leads to…

IT and Infrastructure Solutions

Cyber Masters Infrastructure Solutions aka. CyMaIS is a software which I developed to manage my servers and infrastructure landscape. Over the last years this software grew and developed from a small tool to an complex software to setup and manage the IT Infrastructure for businesses. Over the last two month I crawled into my programming rabbit hole, stayed in the “tunnel” and made this software market ready.

The German IT market offers enormous potential for CyMaIS. Out of approximately 3.5 million companies, predominantly SMEs, an estimated 75–85% (about 2.6–3 million) are not yet fully digitalized and need support in building modern IT infrastructures. With modular solutions ranging from basic setups (10,000–30,000 €) through mid-range systems (40,000–70,000 €) up to complex projects (100,000 €+), the potential total market volume is around 80–120 billion €. The growing demand for cybersecurity and digital transformation ensures long-term growth opportunities. – ChatGPT

Let’s assume that ChatGPT is in the worst case scenario wrong by the factor 1000. Then we still would talk about a market volume of 80 million €, just in Germany.

In the next weeks I will start to akquiriere customers and search for partners to help German SMEs to improve there IT Infrastructure Landscape, become more efficient, get independent from foreign providers and which would like to store all of their data on highly encrypted servers, which off course can also be powered by green energy to be more sustainable.

Another advantage of this software solution is that the companies have full autonomy due to the release of the code as Open Source

If you have any clue about setting up and running a business in this volume, or you are a potential investor, reach out!

If you’re an interested customer and you need an IT-Infrastructur Setup with all tools which you need to manage your business, reach out as well! 🙂

CyMaIS can also be used to setup Social Networks based on the Activity Pub protocol. If you want to try flock.town, a social media network based on CyMaIS register here. If you encounter any issues reach out to me.

New Software Solutions

Besides CyMaIS I developed and published the following Open Source Solutions in the last half year:

• Money Monitor – A tool to generate automatic tax and financial reports (work in process)
• Package Manager – A tool to manage the software which I developed and its dependencies
• Fediverse to Oligopolies Bridge – Feed your feeds on Facebook & Co. with the data from the Fediverse and use the Fediverse as SPOT
• 4D Video Titel – Extract meta data from your videos and create a title for the videos by time and location
• Tablet Mode Control – This repository provides a solution for detecting tablet mode functionality on Linux devices and shows a virtual keyboard.
• Portfolio – This software allows individuals and institutions to set up an easy portfolio/landingpage/homepage to showcase their projects and online presence. 

New Prototypes

To learn the theory for my Yachtmaster Ocean exams I developed the following software prototypes:

• Celestial Navigation – A collection of Python scripts to assist with celestial navigation, providing tools for sight reductions, altitude corrections, and position calculations.
• Sextant Averager – Sextant Averager is a command-line tool designed to calculate the average of multiple sextant measurements while excluding extreme outliers
• Nautical Waypoint Relative Calcs – Nautical Waypoint Relative Calcs is a CLI tool designed to calculate essential nautical navigation metrics, including course, distance, and speed in knots. 

Another prototype which I did was

• Dynamic Miner – The tool dynamically starts and stops mining operations based on hardware usage threshold.

This script I actually also presented at the Singularity Inauguration Hacks Event Berlin Hack’n Tell event.

Adventures

Some documentation about the adventures which I did in the last half year you will find at this logbooks:

• Captains Log
• Diver Log

Besides this you find some of my adventures documented on:

• Mastodon (Microblog)
• Pixelfed (Pictures)
• Peertube (Videos)

I didn’t publish much of my footage, but I will publish more media as soon as I find time for it.

My main focus is on getting the CyMaIS business running. If I find another project I also don’t mind, but CyMaIS seems like it gives the best ROTI and has the best chances of guaranteeing me a good income for the rest of my Live.

I want to continue\complete the following courses:

1. Freediver SSI\PADI – During my holidays in Malta
2. SSS – Still ~ 18 month left, to finish the theory
3. Lifeguard DLRG – I need to refresh my lifeguard license
4. My traditional spring motor bike training will be focused on enduro riding.
   May additional wise I will also do an extra curve training with Sozius, because it isn’t part of the enduro training and a yearly refresher how to tackle curves should be obligatory from my point of view, because this is one of the most important safety core skills of a motorcyclist.
5. PPL – Run out of money… as soon as I have enough again I will continue…
6. Wildnispädagoge – I have to finish my “Homework…

The courses are ordered by priority.

Holidays

At the end of March I plan to travel to Malta with my best diving buddy Viktoria. I really look forward to this break.

Motorbike Trips

• May I do a road trip to to Saarland in April, to visit my family with my motorbike.
• Visiting Marco (Talin) and Jamie (Dublin) with my motorbike are also some points on my bucket list, but I don’t assume that I manage them this year.
• In July\August I will be in Rheinland-Pfalz again for some remote work and help to build up the Lott Festival, at which I will also be a part of the Awareness-Team.

• From the 6th of June until the 13th of June I may go sailing with my SKS-Sailmates again. -> Moved to 2026
• From the 26th of November until the 16th of December I may be a part of BoatSpotting to “document human rights violations, keep an eye out for maritime emergencies and assist in rescue missions”
• I will try to go sailing on a regular base on Wannsee again with the H-Boot Jetlag.

Anyhow: If you need a skipper you can may convince me to take another break from my IT and business projects. Check out Yachtmaster World for my services as Skipper and Yachtmaster.
