CEO (R&D) at dkd Internet Service GmbH (Frankfurt am Main) Β· President of the TYPO3 Association
I've been working in and around the TYPO3 ecosystem for 25+ years β as an agency lead, an extension maintainer, and in TYPO3 governance. These days most of my open source work sits at the intersection of CMS infrastructure, search, AI tooling, and supply-chain trust.
- EXT:solr & hosted-solr.com β Apache Solr integration for TYPO3, co-maintained since forever
- goodbot-badbot.com β Web Bot Auth / robots.txt honeypot research
- Illico β a CLI crawler / LLM-wiki tool for turning crawled content into structured knowledge
- Governance work on CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) & NIS2 compliance for open source CMS projects, via the Open Website Alliance
- Agentic coding workflows (Claude Code, LiteLLM proxying) for CMS development teams
- Supply-chain security tooling for the TYPO3/Composer ecosystem
- Content lifecycle modeling (Salience / Buoyancy / Drift) β a continuation of ideas from the EU FP7 project ForgetIT
As President of the TYPO3 Association, I work on:
- Board & bylaws reform, RFC process, and long-term project governance
- EU regulatory readiness (CRA, NIS2) for the TYPO3 project and its ecosystem
